They say not given full access, so post from tor may not full picture.

In interview daniel moßbrucker say that onion v3 was affect 2 time, so not only ricochet.

Source for expert saying it fabricated?

Source for government not capable of timing attack?

Want to read up on more opinion on this.

edit: if daniel moßbrucker trustworthy. might also fabricate story.
