not even a relevant story line
bitcoin is open source. bitcoin has no secrets
yes it uses encryption for its keys. but that encryption is well known to the NSA way way way before bitcoin was a thing. so its a bit backward.
i think its going to turn out to be a silly b-movie parody trying to combine many conspiracy and social trends.. kind of like how 'scary movie' tries to be a parody of scream but has loads of other random movie sub plots added in for no good plot story bases
one of them movies hoping to get people to by tickets by covering as many trend topics as possible

Actually, it gets better. Hollywood is so distorted, they seem to ignore the fact that. the NSA which is largely composed by the best "nerds" (that's right, you are more likely to find a math or crypto geek person in there than some spy guns blazing agent) is actually long contributor to free open source software. I think they know Bitcoin far better than whoever wrote those scripts. Heck, I'm sure they are here but can't ever reveal it due to national security yadda.
SELinux is a set of improvements to secure Linux. Its fully open anyone can audit it, just like Bitcoin. Who is behind it? Yup, the NSA.
Did the NSA recently tried to sneak some lousy backdoored algo into Linux? Yup, but the community detected it and kicked it out. Nope, you can't play games with a fully transparent community, and cryptographers know this the most: obscurity doesn't make a good crypto algorithm. Only open transparency and peer review works, just like the rest of the scientific community.
Now why would, a part of the free open source community do something this silly? Its released already, who cares who made it, could be themselves for all we care. Or, a more realistic scenario, if the author is, say, American, was simply recruited. That's something the NSA actually does, recruit brilliant minds, not kidnap them like some evil James Bond nemesis.
But meh, Hollywood noise actually helps cover their real activities. The NSA is also a helper agency, CIA, FBI, DEA, etc work together. Yes, in the name of National Security, you can be ordered to shut up and let them tap, if you are American, you have no choice. Therefore, no American company can be trusted anything for that matter. All you can do is close your company quietly once it breaks your morals, but even that can sometimes be difficult.
