Ive published info on Intel's ME and its three Minix instances it runs for many years, and how to shut down parts of it.... but I have no energy to share my stuff to scored, nor GA.
But I am the most qualified to comment on this site.
One esoteric fresh M.E. post I shared to scored , long ago :
https://scored.co/c/Technology/p/15Ir6wKR17/20220719-hours-ago--universal-in/c
As for the OP post... parts seem larp-y to me, though its 99% plausible as written. It just seems odd that a proven Israeli team, in Israel, that codes the Intel M.E. elements, would somehow use non-Israeli citizens and furthermore require USA security clearances.
Chances are the poster, if real, was not a principal engineer on M.E. at intel.
All tech aspects mentioned are factual, but officially a USB dongle with intel supplied crypto key must be inserted onto motherboard to allow the M.E. to be re-provisioned, altered, or even debugged. Allegedly it has no WILLFUL backdoors, but like prior hypervisers probably has stuff that looks at a interrupt time call stack for 16 pushed registers of special values to decide to move forward.
