If memory serves me correctly, sirus and satoshi both founded the forum, so it would make sense for sirus to take it over when satoshi left, and theymos was active around here in the very early days, was made a moderator, made his way up the "ranks" to eventually be made an administrator, and presumably ran the forum well enough to eventually have control over the server.
From what I can tell, cobra just kinda appeared out of nowhere and was running things.
So since Theymos has been around from the early days, is it possible that he is one of the few people on this planet who would know about Satoshi's true identity? Doesn't that make Theymos a Person of Interest for Satoshi chasers, including agencies like CIA. Just curious!
I understand that satoshi used tor to connect to the forum, did not disclose his identity to anyone, and took other steps to keep his identity secret.
I am also fairly confident that theymos is not satoshi, he allegedly did not get involved with Bitcoin until just under a year after the Genius block was date stamped. He even
complained there was an extra random 0.44
BTC attached (tx fees) to the 50
BTC block his computer found while he was still learning about Bitcoin.
