I did not take it that way and I didn't represent it that way. Exactly because he is NOT a Zcash-fan it can be nearly excluded that he would be part of some kind of conspiracy.
No need to be a fan. Some $ will handle everything. And if not, there are still hackers who could infect the process.
I absolutely agree that there are risks. I don't like the idea of a trusted setup at all. But I believe that they've done everything possible to reduce that risk and I don't believe that there is something like an internal risk. With other words: It's not the number 1 - risk in my opinion. I believe the highest risk is about usual bugs with potentially huge impact but without being even visible in a design that even covers the total supply.
