TL;DW There’s a compelling case to be made that Satoshi Nakamoto is Adam Back. I don’t remember all the ins and outs, but the best I recall, he was active in early-bitcoin-prototype development and then suddenly evaporated at the same time that Nakamoto appeared, and took a respected position among people Back was already working with who would have had no real reason to put trust in some random other stranger-person. Also, they speak similarly, and Back has given odd answers in media interviews that don’t really make sense from the perspective of him not being at least involved in keeping the secret.
Always been a fan of it being Hal Finney, regardless of any evidence. It’s poetic symmetry with losing both around the same time.
this fucking guy… i hope they give him criminal charges after this…
