No I don't have evidence - however logical deduction shows that the probability of this happening is high. Any system involving humans is fallible, so it would be naïve to think that it doesn't happen.

Or put another way: if I was the NSA or MI5 this is exactly how I would attack the problem of traffic interception or targeted black ops. Get a puppet CA via hook or crook.

Totally agree that "there are other criminals who have gotten away with much more" is not an argument; I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment? I'm certainly not suggesting that. If anything I suggest that such systems are pretty much broken by design (at least if you care about state actors / extremely well funded actors).
