He was already the CEO of a billion dollar company and the article describes him traveling with security.

Yet another example of how the article failed to do basic research.

more like yet another example of someone not reading the article but being over confident. His wealth is mentioned

Incredible, some people think that minorities can't be racist, by that definition Japanese weren't at all racist in 1937 Nanjing.

Simple question for anyone who’s familiar with this world of journalism: how does the author and the NYTimes cope with the fact that making such claims paint a huge target on the person they claim to have “unmasked”? Satoshi’s wallets are worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and there have been kidnappings/torture/murders for much less than that. Do they just not care about the ethical implications? And really, for…

And the "evidence" they presented includes things like, body language . > I presented my evidence piece by piece. In his soft British lilt, Mr. Back insisted he wasn’t Satoshi and chalked it all up to a series of coincidences. But at times, his body language told a different story. His face reddened and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat when confronted with things that were harder to explain away. Yes, they uniron…

Like most efforts to unmaks satoshi, the whole piece is a long exercise in confirmation bias. He pours over posts to find specific shared writing tics, then feeds those specific tics into an LLM to 'eliminate' other suspects? All because more unbiased approaches carried out by the academic were inconclusive.

Honestly these loudmouths are usually quite privileged themselves. These theatrics are either to deflect from themselves, or they are delusional about how tough their life is.

There’s no bottom to this line of reasoning, however. One can always suppose the identified individual is a double, triple, quadruple agent.

What level do you play at? One level higher than you.

Higher than the demiurge which generates the game creators? Ω!

I found this amusing. >P.G.P., a free encryption program used by antinuclear activists and human rights groups to shield their files and emails from government surveillance. I find it fascinating to see how the users of a program change, based on how a reporter wants to build or diminish. At least it's going in a positive direction today.

>Water, a drink consumed by nobel price winners and European kings...

Water? You mean like out of the toilet?

Sure. Al Capone did a lot of charitable work too. Someone can do more than one thing.

Yes, "charitable work". I'm sure a foundation like that could make a good front for child trafficking. Not that Bill would ever do such a thing obviously, his common interests with that old rascal Jeff must have strictly included other things.

I'm not denying bill did improper sexual things. But I think his goal was to evade taxes, which Epstein likely helped out with. In return, bill was likely blackmailed for his access to Microsoft, which benefits Israel.
