saw Snowden and five other people each combine their portion of the Zcash private key to launch the project. None of the participants knew who the others were nor what portion of the key they held so as to protect their anonymity, one of the tenets of the project.

In the interview with Zcash Media, Snowden shared his enthusiasm for the project and his zeal for privacy. He said “The problem with [Bitcoin] is you can’t have truly free trade unless you have private trade.”
“I'm just really happy to see that the Zcash project [...] is moving us closer and closer towards that ideal of a free currency which is also a private currency.” Another participant in the ceremony, Bitcoin developer Peter Todd recalled the"legendary" lengths the Zcash Ceremony participantsSo turns out Snowden was one of the six participants in the Zcash trusted setup that I also participated in. Which I criticized heavily for being busted, followed by Zcash people falsely accusing me of sexual assault in retaliation.
