He wouldn't need to access the "escrow code", the private keys to the funds are in/on the JD servers (or are offline in doog's possession), so he could just take the money if that is what he decided to do
Looks like that had less to do with escrow and more of speeding up the process to get their CLAMs, kind of automating things. Why else would someone use escrow when they know the escrow is dooglus or JD, unless they didn't now that would be a different story. That's what I'm reading, dooglus could answer this best though.
