That is strange. Perry Metzger joins Wasabi as CEO in 2000 when Gavin Andresen leaves the company he founded. In
November 2000, Perry Metzger creates the mailing list where Satoshi later announces Bitcoin in November 2008.
Seems like more than a coincidence. Were there no other good cryptography mailing lists for Satoshi to announce on?
Satoshi did also announce on
gmane.comp.encryption but seems the replies are same such as
James A. Donald being first to reply.
Note @anonymint recently
got in an argument with James A. Donald about 9/11.
There is another interesting tidbit about James A. Donald (aka "Jim"):
I grok everything except the commie bit. Could you unpack your intended meaning for me?
He [Jim] was a literal politically active communist in the 1970s to the extent that he visited Cuba or Russia or wherever and came back chastened.
So I wonder given Jim’s disingenuous debating of the 9/11 issue, if Jim was formerly on the payroll of the CIA or FBI:
I have spent quite a lot of time in Castro’s Cuba. He did not do relatively well under the circumstances. His people were hungry, gravely malnourished, were denied basic medicines and basic medical treatment, and their elite treated them with arrogance, brutality, and contempt. Visiting leftists were surrounded with a bubble of luxury that made an utter mockery of their pretended beliefs.
I was there. I saw what I saw. I have met people who were also there, and say they saw something completely different. They lie. They lie out of evil, malice, and hatred, and under polite and superficially friendly questioning about our shared experiences, they were unable to keep their story straight.
Remember that the Neocons and Big Oil were the criminal syndicate involved with the FBI, CIA, the Bay of Pigs, the assasination of JFK, and scapegoating it on Oswald.
@anonymint
wrote a blog detailing all that. Appears that Jim could possibly be some sort of covert agent.
