This morning, /u/petertodd tweeted, "gavinandresen's commit access just got removed - Core team members are concerned that he may have been hacked." source.

Sure..... Core has been itching to eliminate Gavin as a thorn in their side for years. Dozens of comments are made as well on that same thread alluding to the convenience of this security as an excuse to force Gavin out.... of an open source project. Many others reflected on similar thoughts (interesting in itself that /r/bitcoin can't keep the echo chamber going):

1. "There's also the possibility all of this was made with the objective of removing commit access from Gavin." - /u/esotericsn
2. "C'mon, we all know it's never gonna be reinstated. Core were looking for an opportunity to rid themselves of Gavin and now they have." - /u/jtnau
3. "Peter Todd might be behind this. Perhaps we should remove Peter Todd's commit rights until he proves he is not behind this." - /u/raptorxp

Fast forward several hours, and sure enough, the narrative has changed! It's no longer about security. Lo and behold, it's about expelling gavin as "unsuitable" for contributing to an open source project! He says, "If @gavinandresen is wrong, I think his commit access should be revoked." source.

This is at BEST a manipulation of open source development, and at worst a coup of an open source protocol and perhaps a false flag to expel gavin. Anything to say for yourself, /u/petertodd?
