I believe cryptocat genered cryptokeys in ascii instead of over the full range, making a ton of their stuff trivially crackable. See https://tobtu.com/decryptocat.php

Well then, one must ask where are the non-amateurs and their crowdfunding to do this?

> I was running a Delaware corporation valued at $10 million with $100,000 in pre-seed funding, which is insane. Completely insane." This hints at the motives behind this.
