Documentary "Searching for Satoshi Nakamoto": Hal Finney and Len Sassaman May Be Co-Creators of Bitcoin

Odaily Planet Daily News reports that the documentary Finding Satoshi was released on Wednesday, claiming that Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is not an individual, but a pseudonym used jointly by cryptographers Hal Finney and Len Sassaman. Director Tucker Tooley and Matthew Miele, after four years of investigation, pointed out that Hal Finney was responsible for writing the Bitcoin code, while Len Sassaman handled the textual content, including the white paper. Hal Finney’s widow, Fran Finney, admitted in an interview that her husband might have been involved in the creation of Bitcoin. Investigators eliminated other candidates such as Adam Back through the process of elimination, noting that the online activity records of Hal Finney and Len Sassaman closely match those of Satoshi Nakamoto. Additionally, the film includes a 90-minute interview with Sam Bankman-Fried, which was ultimately not used.
