Gavin had just received the alert keys to the Bitcoin network. Right afterwards, he tells Satoshi that he is visiting the CIA. Satoshi leaves for good coincidentally.

This is quoted from the defunct Bruce Wagner Bitcoin podcast:

Bruce Wagner : When was the last time you chatted to satoshi <laugh>
Gavin Andresen: Um... I haven't had email from satoshi in a couple months actually. The last email I sent him I actually told him I was going to talk at the CIA. So it's possible , that.... that may have um had something to with his deciding


Based on this, do you think Gavin fully meets Satoshi's vision for Bitcoin?

Why GA was contacted by the CIA (In-Q Tel) for BTC at the time ? He wasn't the best expert for BTC.
Even if he was one of the referents of Bitcoin, why him?
If he was so important in the BTC universe, how could he be sidelined?

I really do not understand the link between Satoshi account "death" and GA met the CIA. SN have the power to kill BTC. BTC was already in the bad hands.
