Big if true.

Coinbase listed the doxxing of Satoshi as a business risk in their S-1 filing.

I'm sceptic though. Past media attempts have not turned out well with some collateral damage. Even if this is the same documentary maker who tracked down Ron Watkins as the Q in QAnon. We'll see if they have any kind of new evidence or just synthesizing "clues" to spin a narrative.

Popular somewhat plausible candidates so far:

    Hal Finney
    Len Sassaman
    Nick Szabo
    Wei Dai
    Paul Le Roux
EDIT: They claim they're making is Sassaman.

What about a combination of those? Working like a group seems another option...


Sure. Finney+Sassaman is a not-that-fringe theory. Le Roux might not have been alone but seem far-fetched to have coupled with any of the others on this list, specifically.
