This is just plain FUD, what you're doing now.
The 3 letter agencies have known about tor, and have been complaining that they can't break it, for a long time now. In fact (iirc), they even supported its development at some point, because they use it themselves. The fact that they're using it is no reason for concern, rather the opposite, since that means, they trust its security enough, that they think other states can't break it.
That this guy is an ex-cia, also isn't a problem in and of itself. It's just like hiring an ex-criminal for your security company. He could fuck you over big time, or he could be a great asset due to insider knowledge. Snowden is also ex-cia, ffs.
Also, what should he have "put in place"? A backdoor in the sourcecode? It's open source, so we can see what he added. Compromised the DirAuths? They're run by people not directly associated with the board, who (hopefully) wouldn't simply give out their private keys. Installed wiretapping? He doesn't need to be member of the board to do that.
So maybe you should heed your own advice and think!
(sorry for the rant, guys...)

This is upsetting on what I hear and see not. I worked my ass off to get my relay, now i hear of a strike and tor hireing a ex-cia offical. Even though i read the resigned, that still does not make the difference does it. They have already got in and probably long enough to put in place what the corrupt US Govt wants to do. They have even admitted they know about tor, some military usess it, but they cant penetrate it. Maybe we should all think

I just multiplied my BandwidthRate with a bit for my exit.

Is the Tor strike today? Because I just set up a second instance on my relay to get the most out of its bandwidth.
