How the fuck do you create an address like this?
Seems someone can crack the code so he can do what he wants?

This address - 1111111111111111111114oLvT2, created from RIPE160 hash with all zero bits "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
Because there is no known attacks on ripe160, it is nearly impossible that someone found such input, that will produce that hash, even if you do not take into account double hashing when generating an address.
To get this address, you have to find a such EC point, that will produce such SHA256 hash, which in turn will produce zero-bit RIPEMD.
So, 1111111111111111111114oLvT2 is valid BTC address, but no one knows its key.
