Hello,

I'm wondering how Satoshi has managed to remain anonymous. Governments and high-level institutions have expressed interest in knowing his identity, and some have even tried to employ significant resources to find him, as evidenced by certain news reports.

However, Satoshi did use an account on this forum, along with an email address. All connections to this forum logged his IP address/user-agent and other digital traces.

His emails also surfaced during Craig Wright's trial. How is it that the email provider does not have IP and other information? Even behind a VPN, I believe that major institutions have the means to request the real IP from the VPN provider.

I don't want his identity to be revealed ! But I'm simply wondering how he has managed to evade the most powerful entities since 2010. Even with current anonymization technologies, the most prominent cybercriminals/activists get caught.

Forgive me if this topic has been covered or if it seems silly to you, but I am amazed by the myth of Satoshi
you know? even I sometimes wonder how he is able to hide his identity since 2010, you know that? it's like he really planned what he had to do because the actions and concealment he does are clean. as you mentioned, the other criminals are caught using their IP address, that's because they did something bad so I don't think we should look for Satoshi especially since he didn't do anything bad, it's better if we should let him go if he doesn't want to show up but I believe he's just watching this forum using a different account since now and then.
