Then we can reasonably conclude that Len Sassaman was NOT Satoshi Nakamoto.

BTW, Satoshi Nakamoto translated to English = Central Intelligence. (Family name first in formal Japanese.) Fun coincidence.



Nakamoto Satoshi is more like "guy with a lot of wisdom and lives inland".

This is exactly the picture I'd expect from a guy who read a Gibson novel and gave himself a Japanese name:

Another funny coincidence is the email that Satoshi chose to use in the whitepaper: SatoshiN@gmx.com. Observe that `SatoshiN' can be interpreted as `Sat(4 chars)N', or equivalently: `Sat4N'! Meaning each time you send someone sats, you're actually sending them little satans. :)

What an excellent sense of humor Satoshi had.

No, i can not observe that.
