If hackers from the FBI etc break the security of Monero it will not matter if the encryption scheme is brute forced or not.
What matters is the RESULT !

But the same is true for bitcoin, Spoetnik.  If your naive idea that "cracking a computer" is the same as cracking cryptography would hold any water, then the FBI can already find all the secret keys of all bitcoin addresses out there, and are making transactions in your name.  After all, reversing the algorithm mustn't be that hard, is it ?  And if you don't see that in your wallet, that is because they also cracked the proof of work scheme (just one single cryptographic function to crack, SHA256, not difficult, they crack it or they brute force it, don't they, it is the result that counts) and they are sneaking in regularly a block to reverse their actions so that you aren't even aware.

There.  All crypto is already cracked by the FBI, because Spoetnik is always right, and tells the world that everything is cracked.

Cracking a simple hash function must be peanuts for boys and girls of the FBI, if they can crack much more involved crypto systems, right ?  Why do you even use bitcoin, dude ?  The FBI has all the secret keys since long, and can produce by tomorrow a 10 times longer block list if they want.  Because everything can be cracked if the FBI wants.  Cracking a crypto system is like exploiting a buffer overflow, isn't it ?

In fact, they already have Satoshi's secret keys, derived from the addresses in the block chain, since years.  Sometimes they move these funds, and then, they put back the blocks as they were so that people don't realize.  That's what causes pumps and dumps in the bitcoin price.  Recently, they put back the blocks, that's why the bitcoin price dumped somewhat.  Right ?  Because everything will be cracked and compromised.  Certainly an 8 year old and relatively simple crypto scheme like bitcoin's, right ?
