Blackberry?? Satoshi being a Canadian cybersecurity expert working for RIM would make a lot of sense imo.
1. Those are just some ads, added by SourceForge. Nothing special. Free e-mail boxes just contained ads in the past, and it is normal. To remove them, you need to use some paid version.
2. Satoshi used Japanese version of Windows XP, it is very unlikely, that he was "a Canadian cybersecurity expert".

Ah, oh well. Reading through all of Satoshi’s messages makes me think they were Canadian or from the US and studied abroad for awhile.

Part of me thinks the English spelling was intentional misdirection. Satoshi sounds a lol like a Calofornian or west coast USA to me.

More evidence that Satoshi was a front for a person or a team that knew their tradecraft, i.e. CIA/NSA.



The team idea is definitely possible imo. I had a buddy from the Bay Area that went to college in Scotland and then moved to London. He's lived there ever since.

He talks a lot like how Satoshi writes. Sounds American but uses random English words like rubbish. Also inconsistently uses "s" or "z" like Satoshi too.

Whether CIA/NSA/team whatever, I think Satoshi was from the US and just lived overseas for a significant period of time.


Len Sassaman was an American who lived in Belgium for years up until his death.

His academic advisors were David Chaum and Bart Preneel. Preneel wrote papers with 9 of the people in attendance for the [2] reference in the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Preneels advisor, Joos Vandewalle was one of the 47 people in attendance for the [2] reference in the Bitcoin referenced above.

If you click the photos I included in my message above, there’s also proof of double spacing and on his twitter, instances of him using the same British spellings of words Satoshi used.

Not to mention Hal Finney and Len Sassaman had a close relationship. Len being friends and advised by HalvFinney and David Chaum, living in Belgium as an American for a long period of time..idk, there’s more to put together with him than anyone else imo.

block 78, Hal Finney.
He has a list of things he did for Bitcoin and was the second miner on the network.

The problem with it being Hal Finney or any of the other known characters is that it doesn't add up: why would anybody want to keep it a secret? And why wouldn't they cash in their $60 billion? (Or, if they lost their keys to the 1M Bitcoin, why wouldn't they just say that and help the price of Bitcoin?).

And remember that this wasn't always $60 billion. Even when Bitcoin was at $1000, somebody would have to turn their nose up at $1 billion--or even less. Had the holder of the 1M Bitcoin been alive and owned it personally, they would have started selling when Bitcoin was $100 or less most likely.

For me, the only possibilities that are plausible is that either Satoshi is dead or he is CIA/NSA. Only a government (and frankly, only the US government) could let $60 billion just sit there.



Who’s to say that Satoshi is still alive?

Bart Prenee (and David Chaum) both Lens doctoral advisors but well focus on Bart, co-authored papers with 9 of the 47 people in attendance at the #2 Reference in the Bitcoin whitepaper:

 “[2] H. Massias, X.S. Avila, and J.-J. Quisquater, “Design of a secure timestamping service with minimal trust requirements,” In 20th Symposium on Information Theory in the Benelux, May 1999.”

One of the 47 in attendance was Bart Preneels academic advisor, Joos Vandewalle who was one of the 47 attendees of the whitepaper's [2] reference.

Add in the double spacing used in Lens writings, as well as Lens close relationship with Hal Finney, there’s so many things that line up that in my opinion that keeps Len in the spotlight as a potential Satoshi Nakamoto candidate.

Len also owned a physical copy and was in attendance for the “In 23rd Symposium on Information Theory in the Benelux” which I’m guessing was a couple years later.

He’s got a history of using British spellings on his twitter. The same words Satoshi used when communicating: flat, grey, bloody. There’s photographic proof but I can’t add another screenshot for some reason.

Anyways, just more very interesting reading and a rabbit hole to go down. I’ve got screenshots that show examples but not sure how to post them here.
