Satoshi was always on his guard

Particularly with Gavin-- no surprise if you knew what Gavin's first message to Satoshi was...

And "could have been leaked"-- is that how he rationalized handing it over to Wright?

For the first time, I hear that Faketoshi got hold of private messages between Satoshi and GA, but it's not surprising how he got them given GA's attitude from the very beginning of communication with Satoshi - so I wonder how Satoshi failed to figure out who was actually GA?

As for that first question to Satoshi, some say it looked exactly like this :

“I'm very curious to hear more about you – how old are you? Is Satoshi your real name? Do you have a day job? What projects have you been involved with before?” Andresen wrote

The man obviously couldn't even imagine what it was all about - or it was all just part of his job as an external collaborator of some three-letter agency he went to visit along the way to give them a lecture on Bitcoin. As he himself later admits, this may have been the main trigger for Satoshi's disappearance.

Indeed, it would be Andresen himself who would first air the idea he believed Satoshi’s exit was connected with the CIA event, an opinion he’d give on a YouTube show in its aftermath.
