Without a final goodbye, is it even a goodbye?

Why people are linking these two incidents? First I saw it on twitter and now on reddit.

So one of early lead bitcoin developer "Gavin Andresen" announced he's going to present bitcoin at CIA headquarters  on April 27, 2011, 11:00:26 PM

I'm going to give a presentation about Bitcoin at CIA headquarters in June at an emerging technologies conference for the US intelligence community.

Although on bitcointalk Satoshi was active only until December 13, 2010, but as per Andresen record Satoshi sent him last email on April 26, 2011.

"I wish you would stop talking about me as a mysterious shadowy figure."

The alleged final break between Satoshi and his collaborators would come on April 26, 2011.

According to records from Andresen, Satoshi sent him an email that day in which he asked him to downplay the idea he was a “mysterious shadowy figure,” at the time adopting a short and reproachful tone to the project’s new “technical lead.”**

"The press just turns that into a pirate currency angle. Maybe instead make it about the open source project and give more credit to your contributors; it helps motivate them,” Satoshi wrote.

But what is important is his comments in one the video where he said "he believed Satoshi’s exit was connected with the CIA event"

'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 https://youtu.be/MUfKOIU_K1I?t=1095 at 18:18 in the video


This was the Satoshi last public email was on Apr 23, 2011 where he hinted on moving on and bitcoin being in good hands



So in the end I believe his disappearance should not be connected to Andresen meeting CIA, since he already left bitcointalk long before this meeting and he already hinted that he would be moving on.
