A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. At the link in our bio, read our full exclusive story on the search for Bitcoin’s creator — and how we unraveled the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto.

The crazy part of bitcoin is that Satoshi holds a large portion of available bitcoin, if Satoshi ever sold, the entirety of the bitcoin market would crash.

Whoever invented bitcoin, definitely has several bitcoins that aren’t public and they definitely have billions of dollars put away for private use.

Fascinating. John Carreyou is goated. His take down of Theranos was incredible. Nothing matches excellent investigative reporting.
