Adam Back Calls ‘Finding Satoshi’ Documentary’s Finney-Sassaman Theory ‘Odd’

Blockstream CEO Adam Back criticizes a new documentary for suggesting Hal Finney and Len Sassaman were the creators of Bitcoin.

Summary

The documentary "Finding Satoshi" claims that the late cryptographers Hal Finney and Len Sassaman were responsible for creating Bitcoin, with Finney acting as the coder and Sassaman as the writer. Blockstream CEO Adam Back has publicly disputed this theory, labeling it "odd" and self-contradictory. Back points out that the timeline of Sassaman’s academic career in Belgium and his personal history conflict with the narrative, further noting that families of both men face risks and financial burdens that contradict their alleged ownership of Satoshi Nakamoto's estimated 1 million BTC stash.
