Adam Back again denied being Satoshi Nakamoto after the New York Times identified him as a leading candidate for Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator. Back said the investigation relied on selective attribution and statistical bias tied to his many posts on cypherpunk mailing lists. He maintained that he is not Satoshi and added that Bitcoin benefits from its creator remaining unknown because it reinforces the asset’s independence. The dispute over Satoshi’s identity therefore remains unresolved despite the newspaper’s reported yearlong investigation.
