The main counterargument to this is that the bitcoin technology is so unusually clever and its success such an incredible fluke anyway that you'd have to assume the government to have an almost god-like intelligence and foresight to pull this off.
And also take a huge risk of damaging itself in the process while pretending that the author is motivated by libertarian motives.
This is a conspiracy theory.
No, a conspiracy theory would be that this accusation is coming from a government-shill so as to deter further usage of BitCoin.
What else can the g-men really do... now is a good time considering after SR and all.
