British cryptographer Adam Back is the secret creator of Bitcoin, claims new report — Back refutes investigation, says parallels to Satoshi are just a coincidence

The Bitcoin white paper was published under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto on October 31, 2008.

Journalist John Carreyrou published a 40-page NYT investigation into Bitcoin's origins.

The NYT investigation examined Adam Back as a candidate for Bitcoin's creator.

A 2024 UK court case disclosed emails showing Satoshi shared an early draft with Back; emails also referenced b-money.

Adam Back created Hashcash and co-founded Blockstream in 2014.
