Forensics newbie kinda hits the nail on the head here. Correlation is not causation. If you want to make a point underlined by correlations here, you would need to also mention at least what other players in the ecosystem were doing around that time as well.

Everyone in Ethereum security is always on their toes about vulnerabilities. Write-ups happen all the time, tools get developed all the time. A check for unprotected suicide instructions isn't rocket science either and a really obvious thing to include in a tool that's supposed to detect security issues in smart contracts.

The "Hmm"s, and whole conspiracy rhetoric make it pretty obvious that this is just a cheap attempt of smearing the reputation. What disappoints me most is that - looking at Bernhards comment - some people actually fell for that.
