If I remember correctly, he was not invited to the three-letter agency until two years after Satoshi disappeared.

You remember incorrectly, Satoshi abruptly cut off communication when Gavin emailed him to say he would be meeting with the CIA. Gavin himself has speculated before that this is why Satoshi went away. As doomad notes, this should totally have not been a shock.

Satoshi's last forum post was Dec 2010, I believe. It was in April 2011 that he replied in email saying that he had moved onto other things. The wikileaks move to allow donations was a large part of his separation, but I'm certain it was also the stress of managing so many new people where anonymity didn't help.

Back on topic... Cobra is still trying to pay as demanded by the court, but ontier is evading every effort (cobra is copying me on the emails). Ironically, they've stopped attaching their own name to their communications with Cobra. "Anonymity for me but not for thee".

An interesting point here -- your real name is attached, which was a requirement by BSV promoters.

"Abandonment" can work its magic in more than one way if this continues.
I'd be afraid to take money too, with only shaky stories of starting large bitcoin server farms in 2009 that no one can prove. You'd think anyone would have noticed.
