I think this is very common in our society that if someone is going towards success, then there are millions of people who tries to pull him back and this is with bitcoin also because the popularity of BTC is reaching sky high and the other cryptocurrencies wants to pull it down. Though there is one reason that made bitcoin little weak that there is no governing body otherwise there is no such conditions that it will become illegal because BTC is very sustainable.
I really do not think that anyone is trying to portrait bitcoin in a bad image and wanted to destroy it, if they do the entire market will come down crashing, but the said discovery of photos is not a good news, i have not done any details study or read the said documents to verify their claim, but i do not think these things can put an end to the system.
