Dammit. They are taking the last android syncthing client from us.

The original maintainer came back recently and said that the handover has their blessing and the new maintainer is someone they know. Some people are still talking about moving to syncthing-tray, but it's still experimental on android.

They could have been hacked or forced.

Where did you see that? Couldn't find anything on the repo.

Will still go with nel0x's version tho

Sounded like nel0x was the shady one. The account on the forum doesnt exist anymore either
