It's not a conspiracy to suggest that there are backdoors in computer hardware. It's a fact and we've known about it for a while.
His link has "possibly" in the fuckin title. There is no ANON currency yet including DRK even without the thought of the NSA! Not one currency has had a third party confirm anonymity. If that was the case we would have a gold standard crypto right now. But we don't. But I digress.
How will darktor handle exit nodes so people don't get arrested? The update literally was just bugs and this new idea to setup tor on the masternodes. All words of nothingness.
Has anyone ever been sued or prosecuted for running Tor?
No, we aren't aware of anyone being sued or prosecuted in the United States just for running a Tor relay. Further, we believe that running a Tor relay including an exit relay that allows people to anonymously send and receive traffic is legal under U.S. law.

https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faqI would suggest there be a dialog for MN operators who don't want to participate in DarkTor when it comes online. Obviously if you are running an exit node, you could possibly draw scrutiny from law enforcement agencies as they see the traffic coming from your IP.
In Australia a guy had his house raided because he was running an exit node. It's something Masternode operators will have to ask themselves. Whether or not they want to possibly put themselves out there like that. If the answer to that question is no they should obviously be able to opt out.
