So far, it looks like the article in the OP is just hype or conspiracy theory crap.
This was my initial reaction too. Keep reading, watch video.

It's a purely fiat currency, the algorithm ensures scarcity and market will determine value. It is real, it exists. One of the developers who is interviewed mentions that he is invited by the CIA to speak about it next month at an In-Q-Tel conference.
