It's a long shot to call a bitcoin exec a banker, especially with the article describing her as a programmer.

I can see why things might be stressful with people being arrested and exchanges losing hundreds of millions of dollars. Especially for some one who seemed to be working herself as never do wrong year after year. It's extremely sad, but it can be what happens when people push themselves so hard at work they crack. While it is unknown why she did it now, and if she did it really, the investigation will likely reveal it given more then the time for a hot pocket to be done before flipping out.

Yes, this story about the "real creator" is very interesting in timing and in information.

the trail followed by Newsweek led to a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose name really is Satoshi Nakamoto. He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military.

The currency has attracted the attention of the U.S. Senate, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Reserve, the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which in October shuttered the online black market Silk Road and seized its $3.5 million cache of Bitcoin. “The FBI is now one of the largest holders of Bitcoin in the world,” Andresen says.
