Is there any chance that Satoshi works/worked for the
NSA or equivalent?

For a huge number of reasons, s/he couldn't publish
under her/his own name, but may have gotten permission
to do this project anyway, so long as s/he didn't make
any personal profit on it.

I can imagine that the NSA & GCHQ are still hurting
at not getting proper credit for developing "public
key" encryption, and they may not have wanted to see
a long string of bad versions of bitcoins foisted
upon the world when they already had a pretty good
solution.
