As ably documented by John Young on Cryptome, there was a long-running, slow-burning controversy over claims that OpenBSD had flaws built into by individuals operating at the behest of the FBI. Reading through the Cryptome documented exchanges, I failed to see anyone considered contacting the FBI, either directly or via FOIA request, on the matter and reporting a response. (1) So I had my cut- out fire off a request for records relating to the non-profit created around the OS. Below is the no record response the Bureau sent back. Take it for what you will.

Since Netcraft has confirmed that BSD is dying, I doubt this will be an issue much longer.
(1) Someone did contact a former FBI agent via Twitter and received a denial.
