What if CIA behind this project? Would you still keep your money as bitcoins? Would you trust them? Do we know who the hell is Satoshi Nakamoto? I suure don't.
In my opinion it doesn't matter where the code came from so long as it's safe to use. The Bitcoin core code is heavily scrutinised and reviews, so anything nasty left in it by Satoshi/the CIA/whoever can be swiftly cleaned up or removed.
