From everything I’ve been able to read so far, GA had some of his own ideas and theories that he was constantly trying to impose, but given that Satoshi always had the last word, GA and some others started to be very critical and literally rebelled against Satoshi. I think the CIA was the thing that showed Satoshi what kind of people he was actually dealing with.
And I don’t think anything has changed to this day, Faketoshi has obviously turned to those who have been very critical of Satoshi in the past, and they are giving him support to accomplish his crazy intentions.
You know, don't you think it was kind of stupid to tell the CIA about bitcoin at such an early stage?
No -- there wasn't any real choice. That visit legitimized bitcoin. Wikileaks had begun accepting bitcoin the previous winter, so there wasn't any real choice for GA. He couldn't hide, and they would be aware.
The CIA was already aware. GA visited in spring 2011, nearly two years after bitcoin had gone from nil to dollars. People would have reported crypto scammers in 2010, I bet.
The CIA visit would have spooked SN, but I'm sure was more a final nail in the coffin, rather than a single large reason.
