Fred Krueger, a well-known financial expert and speaker in the crypto world, has proposed a new theory about the identity of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, arguing that this mysterious figure is not one person, but a collaboration between two of the most famous crypto pioneers:
Hal Finney and Lynn Sassaman.
“Kruger” relies on several points that he considers logical to support this hypothesis, most notably that “Hal Finney” has chronological evidence that prevents him from being “Satoshi” alone, as old records show that he was participating in a running game at the time the message was sent from the “Satoshi” account.
He believed that if two people worked together, this contradiction would disappear.
He also pointed out that the academic style and British language imprint of the white paper may be related to Sasaman, who has lived in Belgium for a long time, while Finney has the programming experience needed to build the Bitcoin code.
The most interesting bit is that Satoshi disappeared in April 2011, just weeks after the death of Lynn Sassaman and coinciding with Hal Finney’s deteriorating health from ALS, which later prevented him from writing.
Based on this theory, Krueger believes that Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet contained approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins and would never be moved because the private keys could be lost with the death of the owner.
This situation means that a huge amount of Bitcoin, currently estimated to be worth tens of billions of dollars, is effectively permanently out of circulation, reducing market concerns about a sudden sale by Satoshi Nakamoto.
