I’ve just skimmed through your article; my goodness, there is much more to examine and unfold here as to the true motives behind “Satoshi Nakamoto” and all these cypherpunks. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Paul Le Roux. Definitely not your typical programmer/cypherpunk type of guy. But like Ulbricht, if the U.S. under Trump and the corrupt crypto industry goes even as far pardoning Le Roux (and Sam Bankman-Fried), the U.S. is even more out there showcasing they are a criminal empire.
And now, I’m curious about Julian Assange and how well, if any, he knew about any these cypherpunks and programmers who were deeply attached with serious crime such as Le Roux (and Ulbricht via Silk Road).
btw at this point given all the evidence i would say i'm like 93% convinced satoshi is paul le roux or someone in le roux's inner circle. i thought so before hal finney's wife sent the confirmation message. but the bitcoiners have a lot riding on satoshi *not* being a multiple murdering international crime lord so you only very rarely hear the le roux hypothesis mentioned.
paul le roux was deep in the cypherpunk community. TrueCrypt (the cypherpunk's big contribution to the world other than bitcoin (if you can call that a "contribution")) was based on le roux's E4M software and le roux was widely understood to be on the TrueCrypt team, as was hal finney.
it's a virtual certainty that finney and le roux were at a minimum aware of each other through various mailing lists and usenet groups (and they probably worked together on bitcoin. the first btc txn was sent from satoshi to finney).
fwiw hal finney's wife said paul le roux is satoshi https://cryptadamus.substack.com/p/by-the-claw-satoshi-is-revealed
