I didn't like this episode at all! "It happened to our sponsor"?!? You got sponsored. You skip completely over all the details that hint at Switck aka Peter Gray being guilty. You don't need to own ...

We're not a True Crime podcast. Backdoors that look like accidents are technically interesting, but I find it too implausible to even bring up.

Now, if this is ever proven in court, or crosses some other evidence bar that makes me take it seriously, I'm happy to do another episode.

Peter and Switck had back and forth conversations about using that library. Of course Peter tried to put a distance to Switck! That it later was undeniably his doing doesn't erase the beginnings! For all we know, that initial waves weren't Peter's neither. It might simply have become too hot for him...
