EPSTEIN SPONSORED SATOSHI NAKAMOTO There's an email from Jeffrey Epstein. September 19, 2014. He's listing people for UN Climate Week in New York. The usual suspects: Peter Thiel, Larry Summers, Bill Burns, Gordon Brown. Power players. Then, between a Harvard professor and a Qatari official: "satoshi (bitcoin)." This is real. It's in the 20,000+ pages Congress released. And it lands right in the weirdest week of Bitcoin's history. > The Hack: September 8, 2014. Someone breaks into Satoshi Nakamoto's email. Not just any email, the one he used to build Bitcoin. They get his forum accounts too. Everything that proved he was Satoshi. Eleven days later, "satoshi (bitcoin)" is on Epstein's schedule with world leaders. > Six Months Earlier: March 2014. Newsweek drops a bomb: "We found Satoshi." Dorian Nakamoto. 65 years old. Lives in California with his elderly mother. His actual birth name was Satoshi Nakamoto before he changed it in 1973. He's a physicist who worked on classified defense projects. Brilliant. Paranoid about government. Perfect match, right? Except Dorian is broke. Unemployed for ten years. Had a stroke. Can't afford internet. When reporters ambush him, he says something vague about his old work. Newsweek thinks it's a confession. Dorian says they misunderstood. The next day, the real Satoshi's account, silent for five years, posts one message: "I am not Dorian Nakamoto." The media destroys Dorian anyway. His life becomes hell. > What Epstein Was Doing? While this is happening, Epstein is funding Bitcoin development. He gave $750,000 to MIT to pay Bitcoin Core developers. The actual people maintaining Bitcoin's code. He hosted Bitcoin meetings at his Manhattan place. Brock Pierce talking to Larry Summers about crypto. Peter Thiel on the schedule when his fund invested in Bitcoin. By 2018, Epstein is texting Steve Bannon about crypto tax policy. Claiming he works for Treasury on cryptocurrency stuff. This wasn't casual interest. Epstein was building a bridge between Bitcoin and power. > So who was "satoshi (bitcoin)" in that email? Maybe Dorian. Six months after being exposed, broke, desperate. If Epstein needed a Satoshi for his UN meetings, why not use the guy Newsweek already burned? He had the name, the technical background, the paranoid libertarian vibe. Maybe Craig Wright. The Australian fraudster who'd later claim to be Satoshi. In 2014 he was being investigated for tax fraud, desperate for legitimacy. A UK court eventually ruled he lied about everything. But in September 2014, he was still spinning his story. Maybe someone who used those hacked accounts. They got compromised September 8. "Satoshi" appears on Epstein's schedule September 19. That's eleven days. > Here's one thing about timing: One month before all this, Hal Finney died. Finney got the first Bitcoin transaction. He lived blocks from Dorian. His writing matched Satoshi's better than anyone. A lot of people think he was Satoshi, or knew who Satoshi was. Whatever Finney knew died with him in August 2014. > What It Means: Look, Bitcoin doesn't care. The code works regardless of who wrote it. Satoshi's anonymity was always the point. But this happened. Epstein funded Bitcoin developers. He connected crypto people with CIA directors and treasury officials. He tried to shape crypto policy. And in September 2014, right after Satoshi's accounts got hacked, someone using that name showed up on his calendar with world leaders. We don't know if the real Satoshi went anywhere near Epstein. But somebody did. Right when Dorian was vulnerable. Right when the accounts got compromised. Right when Bitcoin got too big to ignore. Epstein was always there at these intersections. Money, power, technology, influence. September 2014 was just another one.
