Could also be interpreted:

1. Dropped all contact when it was clear the person had misrepresented themselves and thought he was Satoshi.

2. Called the cops when this stranger came to his home to persist in this line of questioning.

3. Reporter says he said this, but also the cop just happens to be familiar with bitcoin and quip something appropriate. It could easily be a paraphrase of this man saying he's no longer involved in the govt projects we know him to be involved in, and he has no connection with them.

Why didn't the reporter record this exchange? Seems elementary when you're ambushing the guy. And has no one contacted the cop involved to see what he said or knows?
