What are your thoughts?
Satoshi, a cartel boss? And then a law enforcement snitch? Sounds likely!
This was discussed a while back in another thread. The evidence is razor thin, just a bunch of weak circumstantial nothings. It doesn't seem convincing to me at all.
- The curious Satoshi/Solotshi monikers.
- Both were programmers familiar with C++.
- Both had a strong interest in cryptography and privacy.
- Both were wary of authority.
- Both had an interest in online gambling – Bitcoin’s initial code had a poker client included.
- Both were well aware of the difficulty with traditional payment systems, Le Roux on account of the illegal prescription drug racket he was running.
- Satoshi’s spelling and language – “analyse, colour, defence, bloody, hard” is consistent with Rhodesian Le Roux’s.
- Satoshi disappeared in early 2011 to “move on to other things” around the time that Le Roux was transitioning from software genius to cartel boss.
- With tens of millions of dollars in cash, Le Roux would have had no need to cash out his BTC once the price began rising.
- If anyone could have hidden wallets containing 1 million BTC, it would have been the creator of disk encryption software TrueCrypt.
