Okay. I can see how you would think that. To me, Sampson and Delilah is more a story of idiocy and haughtiness. Delilah asks him several times what the source of his power is and every time he tells her some bogus story. And then she tries whatever he told her while he's sleeping SEVERAL times. I think after the first time I'd find someone else to sleep with. He was a prideful fool to actually tell her the secret when she'd tried to rob him of his powers a couple times before that. :/
When I think of betrayal, I think Julius Caesar.
Fun fact: Though the story has become pervasive in the west due to the spread of Christianity, the story is of Jewish origins, originally written in Hebrew like the rest of the Old Testament.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with you, by the way. Just voicing my own thoughts. Your theory is interesting.

Something else that I've just realized: though it would probably give the series more thematic resonance if it were true, Snake probably isn't the guy who actually killed Kaito's dad. If he were, it would imply that he's been stealing jewels for the Organization for at least eight years; the way he asks the sub-boss in "Blue Birthday" about the jewels and gets the lecture on Pandora seems to imply he's only been with them for a short while.
(BTW: am I the only one who finds it weird that he, a grown man and killer, swallows a story about an immortality-giving rock without a single word of disbelief? Maybe he's just doing it for the money and doesn't care what fairy tales his employers believe in, or maybe the Organization's already given him some proof of actual magic... hmm...)

Maybe the Organisation possess some cutting edge brainwashing technology technology, Mk has not always been realistic so why not go sci-fi?
