A recent New York Times investigation used stylometric analysis to suggest that cryptographer Adam Back is the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Back has categorically denied these claims. The Bitcoin community has criticized the report, arguing that such unmasking attempts endanger developers by associating them with the $78 billion in Bitcoin linked to Satoshi.
