The best theory I have seen (which CSW sued the guy to take the post down so obviously he's above the target) is that Hal Finney was the brains behind Bitcoin using his genius brain to put together all of the pieces created by so many smart cypherpunks before him. He enlisted the help of Dave Kleinman for his expertise as well they were both suffering from the same life threatening disease. While Finney did most of the background work Dave took on the Satoshi character understanding the implications of what they were doing. He knew that he needed to be completely anonymous so he asked his friend Craig Wright for some pointers on how to hide his identity very well. He then took on the "public" persona of Satoshi and was the Satoshi that we all know. He set up the first few nodes while keeping anonymous, bringing in Finney's nodes early on as a non-anonymous node though they likely were working together on everything before that.

Finney and Kleinman eventually died. Craig Wright, knowing that Kleinman was Satoshi tried desperately to get Kleinman's computers and USB drives from his family after his death. Also, it would make sense that CSW knew who Satoshi was otherwise he would not be so willing to come out and claim that he is Satoshi. The real Satoshi could always prove him wrong otherwise. CSW also likely knew some specifics about how Kleinman stayed anonymous so he was able to put some pieces together to make it look like it was him all along.

CSW can try to sue me for posting this but good luck finding me.

... CSW and Kleinman are not nearly in Satoshi's league

... it's like comparing high school math teachers to Euler

I played the role of the public face for the first seastead. The engineer that built it is a literal rocket scientist. I only had to know enough about it to explain to the general population how it worked while he actually used his engineering knowledge to build it and come up with many future designs.

I know enough engineering as it was my major going into college before switching to computer science to be comfortable in explaining things but nowhere close to the detailed nuances that "seatoshi" is able to come up with in very little time.

I can imagine Kleinman and Finney had a similar dynamic.

A while back when CSW was claiming to be Satoshi, i tried to track his location and whereabouts and compare it to Satoshi Bitcointalk Post. Based on what was generally available at the time, like he CV and other speaking tours etc... he was studying at some university in Australia.

Surely if we can put him elsewhere when Satoshi had posted something we can eliminate his as CSW once and for all. Maybe CC statements, toll accounts etc...
