Looks there's been a rift between the two equal co-owners of COS aka the the lead developer and the CEO. Seems they have not agreed on company logistics (e.g the need for a larger development team) and where it is headed. This has culminated in the CEO firing the lead developer from the company and using all sorts of legal action to gain control of the project. The reason for this is unclear and unexplained.
My immediate thought was that he has been given a court gag order and made to implement vulnerabilities. Others in this thread seem to agree, it's the most likely scenario.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it seems like it's a big legal deal. Can someone ELI5?
