No it doesn't but it's all stuff that comes from Gavins' mouth. We have no evidence for nothing of that, do we?
Was the "let's put Gavin in charge" msg signed with Satoshi's key? Or did Satoshi actually
If we're going to declare Satohi's latest post to the list as fake until proven otherwise, let's do the same for his "Gavin is in charge" decision.
If it's not signed, agnostic is the proper trust level.
Interesting point. It would be fitting to an old conspiracy theory of mine. At the time, when Gavin was invited to the CIA, they could have found Satoshi with the help of the NSA program and made him an offer about his "Bitcoins", which he rejected. They killed him and then comes the part with the "Gavin is in charge" message to put their future puppet in command. Later they found out, that Satoshi has a huge amount of Bitcoins and they didn't extract the private key out of SN. Thats why SN's Bitcoins has never moved.
Gavin was flipped to take control over the Bitcoin protocoll and now is the time for the final battle.
... but it was one hell of a ride.
