I don't think the reason he gave was ironclad. Its a pretty good indication, though. I remember people talking about things being backdoor'd years before bitcoin was invented. People knew the NSA runs Tor exit nodes too. Also the SHA-2 algorithms were known to the public - there was a big fight to keep them public that was partially fought in court and partially fought by techy people wearing them printed on t-shirts and going on international flights, which made them walking violations of arms control, since encryption algorithms were classified as armaments. Someone in my family actually did that, so I know it actually happened. I'd be wary of any narrative starting to form about Satoshi being in the government. Davinci Jeremy is probably sincere, but the narrative is convenient for the government. They would gain by convincing people that there was a conspiracy, therefore bitcoin bad, or by creating a case they can legally use against bitcoiners.
