the whole fact that EVERYONE involved with btc claims to have never met "satoshi" but only communicated with "him" though this forum or email does seem strange to me. If you read about edward snowden he used similar tactics (he was a CIA agent) to hide his identity until he knew it was safe to talk to the journalists he was communicating with.
Then again, maybe they all have met satoshi and are just saying they "never met him" to keep the whole secrecy thing in tact
Snowden was not a CIA agent.
He was a contractor working on a CIA project.
True, but the access he had was akin to root access (sysadmin). A field operative would be the lowest on the totem pole (as people understand CIA agents as the Bourne guy).
A desk guy working in a NOC or SOC would get tons of access and the bigger picture. Everything has to pass through you. That was the level of access Snowden had though.
The fact that you mention Snowden is interesting. Now when I think about it it is totally possible that Snowden had access to information of highest clarence status.
But he did not mention Bitcoin in any of his reports, so either bitcoin is not CIA, NSA doing or truth is hidden so deep that even critical agents don't know about it.
