Documentary Finding Satoshi: Hal Finney and Len Sassaman May Be Co-Creators of Bitcoin

Odaily News Documentary Finding Satoshi was released on Wednesday, claiming that Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is not an individual but a pseudonym jointly used by cryptographers Hal Finney and Len Sassaman. Directors Tucker Tooley and Matthew Miele, through a four-year investigation, pointed out that Hal Finney was responsible for writing the Bitcoin code, while Len Sassaman was responsible for writing the text content, including the whitepaper. Hal Finney's widow, Fran Finney, admitted in an interview that her husband may have been involved in the creation of Bitcoin. Investigators eliminated other candidates such as Adam Back through a process of elimination, noting that the online activity records of Hal Finney and Len Sassaman closely match those of Satoshi Nakamoto. Additionally, the film includes a 90-minute interview with Sam Bankman-Fried, but it was ultimately not used.
