Apologies, I stated above that the NSA did not 'force' the researchers to make changes but looking closer here it appears the user actually stated that, "NSA modified some parts from Keccak256 and released it as the current SHA-3 after ethereum release, that's the reason ethereum uses keccak256 and not sha-3."
This is unequivocally false. And we know that its false because there were no changes made to the actual cryptographic algorithm.
Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia that explains this well (Wikipedia does an excellent job of breaking down tech & math-related concepts; just don't consult that site for anything that falls outside of that topic).

n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but you’ll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. “They have 346 million users and they’re connected to 26 million merchants,” says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. “It’s huge.”
