The person who originally sent the broken transactions deleted his wallet
Sigh... why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case?
You should never delete a wallet.For sure he has a backup. Somewhere...
It's literally impossible that satoshi "lost his coins". The creator of BTC would never make the mistake of not having enough diversified backups. He's just keeping his coins and not moving them around, that's all.
