Is Paul Solotshi the pseudonymous Satoshi?

[Mpamaegbu]

There are incriminating evidences suggesting that Paul Solotshi is the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto in an article I just read this morning. It points clearly that one of the reasons that the Satoshi's one million Bitcoin hasn't moved is because the fellow has been in orison since 2002 till date. Below is the link and it makes for an interesting and convincing read. https://www.investinblockchain.com/new-evidence-suggests-satoshi-nakamoto-is-paul-solotshi-the-creator-of-encryption-software-e4m-and-truecrypt/

It could be true, and we know that the possibility will always there as we don't know the truth.
We will see much other theory about who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto, but that will not make us to even closer to him because he still hiding in somewhere place that we don't know.
Anybody can be the real Satoshi Nakamoto, especially if there is any document that will support him as Satoshi Nakamoto.

[GreatArkansas]

I just read the article and just wowed . But we still don't have more evidence who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.
Since Paul Solotshi Calder Le Roux is also a genius programmer and also has an interest in some encryption, these may be a key that he can consider to be Satoshi, especially the suspected wallet of Satoshi Nakamoto that has 1 million bitcoin that still untransferred could still possible evidence.

It would be more exciting if someone can interview Paul Solotshi so we can also hear his side.

My thought is that he can just be another claimant to the title but so far since he may not be able to move those bitcoin just because he is incarcerated but then again a person with a will can always find a way. So maybe we should just wait for the time when he can be released from the prison so he can finally prove to be the real guy. The search for the genuine Satoshi Nakamoto will not stop all because we continue to get fascinated by his whereabouts. And until we can see, meet and talk with the original, the space for speculations is always open. Enjoy! I am thinking of nominating myself to be Satoshi Nakamoto too.

Satoshi, a cartel boss? And then a law enforcement snitch? Sounds likely!

This was discussed a while back in another thread. The evidence is razor thin, just a bunch of weak circumstantial nothings. It doesn't seem convincing to me at all.

The "evidence" seems to boil down to this:

• The curious Satoshi/Solotshi monikers.
• Both were programmers familiar with C++.
• Both had a strong interest in cryptography and privacy.
• Both were wary of authority.
• Both had an interest in online gambling – Bitcoin’s initial code had a poker client included.
• Both were well aware of the difficulty with traditional payment systems, Le Roux on account of the illegal prescription drug racket he was running.
• Satoshi’s spelling and language – “analyse, colour, defence, bloody, hard” is consistent with Rhodesian Le Roux’s.
• Satoshi disappeared in early 2011 to “move on to other things” around the time that Le Roux was transitioning from software genius to cartel boss.
• With tens of millions of dollars in cash, Le Roux would have had no need to cash out his BTC once the price began rising.
• If anyone could have hidden wallets containing 1 million BTC, it would have been the creator of disk encryption software TrueCrypt.

Honestly, I'm not really convinced by this article. As for me, it's just another Satoshi candidate. The good thing is Paul is not making noise so his name would sound appealing just like what Craig Wright did. However, the truth will still speak for itself in time and the truth about Satoshi will prevail if he, himself would open up about everything about his identity.

[Ailmand]

Well, it's possible but we can't deny the fact that no matter how many articles we read, we still got no assurance about the information that we're reading. It could be true but might also be a way to deceive us. There are still lots of things that we have to know about Paul Salotshi before we confirm and conclude that he's the real Satoshi.

[Texacha]

It's impossible, because Craig Wright is. 

[acroman08]

we can all guess, assume or make an investigation of who really satoshi nakamoto is but at the end of the day there are still
no confirmation if it is really him. there have been a lot of claims that they found or they are satoshi nakamoto and it's kind of
getting annoying.  the article is interesting though.

[Haunebu]

Annoying indeed. None of these claims are mildly interesting in my opinion since 99.999% of them are wrong and no one will ever know who the real Satoshi actually was. He is like Jack the Ripper of this age which is amazing considering the technological advancements.

It's impossible, because Craig Wright is. 

You found him. Damn. I actually thought Trump was Satoshi all this time. If he could fool a big part of USA, why can't he fool the rest of the world?

The article is very interesting but I really don't believe the real Satoshi Nakamoto will be a cartel boss. It's just another article trying to unravel the original creator of bitcoin. Even from the prison one can give out a code to a trusted visitor to help out in real life affairs. Paul Solotshi is not the real Satoshi

[bL4nkcode]

Out of many theories and claims about who is satoshi, this one is the most interesting IMO.

But of course, until satoshi don't reveal himself by doing such—people will not be convinced anything written or read from such article(s).
So better don't expect satoshi will come back anymore, except to this paranoid who claim that he is and using legal sh*t to those people who are against him by saying frauds, while he himself is a fraud.

[1Referee]

I get it that figuring out who Satoshi potentially could be in the past was an interesting topic, but it's starting to become pretty annoying with how news outlets continue with this bs today. I really don't see any point in continuing this when the only valid bit of evidence is a signature from the address containing the genesis block reward.

I'm sure they eventually will find someone named Sato Naka and then again the whole media circus show starts from scratch.

I'm sure that if the real Satoshi is watching, he's rolling on the floor laughing at how stupid this space is. Must be happy to have left and never come back. His coins go up in value anyway, so what is there to come back for? No one of that level is going to waste time here.

It could be true but we could never know unless he could proves it .
The fact that Paul was a smuggler and crypto or Bitcoin gives total anonymity to the users are very interesting.
Maybe it was the reason if Paul is the true Satoshi then Bitcoin was clearly created to be a way to smuggle or be used for illegal activity.
It would be his perfect get away or easy way to transact in the internet anonymously .

[klaaas]

So mcafee was going to reveal this person ? ; )    And here another person on the speculation list. 

[YuginKadoya]

I am unlikely to be a believer of this another candidate to be Satoshi just because of "Solotshi" Paul Le Roux would be the real Satoshi and a likely have a link with wright can be very deceiving indeed in my opinion, And even though he is familiar with C++ there are many well-known Programmers that are knowledgable enough, Even I am familiar with C++ as well, Maybe I can become a candidate myself, And I am not being biased with the thing that he is being a criminal but because if Paul would be Satoshi he would not think of any criminal acts and he would be brilliant with the things he will do.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

There is a good theory behind this article and we can see multiple reasons why Paul Solotshi could actually be Satoshi Nakamoto. The problem is it could all be a coincidence and even though there are many arguments sustaining  the theory behind all of this there isn't any notable proof. There have been many people trying to prove they are the the real Satoshi but so far none of them succeed and that's surely going to continue until the real Satoshi will reveal himself.

[BrewMaster]

if we start calling everyone who is named Satoshi or has a name that is similar looking or sounding like Satoshi then we will have to go through the list of names for at least another 10 years!

besides, the first thing you need to understand is that Satoshi Nakamoto is just a fake name so there is no way that the real personality was named anything remotely similar.
for example my name is not even close to my user name (BrewMaster)!

[Slow death]

is a very interesting theory, but without any proof. so far we have many suppositions of who is satoshi and we also have many faketoshis. Which makes me very intrigued is why someone would create something anonymous and after many years would want to leave the anonymity but could not present any proof that is the real creator of bitcoin? another point that makes me curious, I believe now if the real satoshi showed his face, he would not be arrested because he did not commit any crime, which leads me to my curiosity, why the real satoshi does not show his face? Is the real satoshi dead?

It all adds up, the theory is well presented that points that we have finally found the real Satoshi Nakamoto, the writer explanations are very clear and he connected all the dots perfectly, this is a breakthrough article,let's see where it will lead us, the explanation that the 1 million Bitcoin cannot be move is because Satoshi is spending his time in jail, where access to computer is very limited to none, sounds credible.
