There is no way Theo didn't know Jason worked at NETSEC; Jason's a co-author of an academic paper about the OpenBSD cryptography implementation, under a NETSEC address.
yep, you can see this post from 2000. http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0004/msg00583.html
I think this followup is even more illustrative: http://monkey.org/openbsd/archive/misc/0004/msg00573.html
rest of quote: "And it is true, wow, that company really was in that business! Now they (the company) belong to Verizon."

What the company did is surprising, not who worked there.

I assume you mean "what the company is alleged, by one guy, to have done".
Sure. I was saying "no idea" == "that business" as opposed to the "no idea" == "jason and angelos" interpretation.
