Jake has nothing to do with the OPSEC of TOR. TOR is openly audit-able, publicly vetted, and peer reviewed and thus impervious to the actions of a single person. Also the US Gov. are always going to have their fingers in TOR, whether it's CIA directors or state sponsored Sybil attacks: this just makes TOR stronger due to a hydra effect and so I welcome government actors, thanks for making TOR moar robust.
TOR is only as compromised as the user who uses it, with their JavaScript turned on, and their Flash plugins enabled whilst surfing. TBB helps with that, but it's not bulletproof and still subject to any number of 0days (The FBI routinely breaks TBB for obvious reasons). TOR as an academic effort is perfect OPSEC because it uses compartmentalization and lots of other lovely OPSEC strategies, but fails horribly in the wild due to outright bad implementation.
