Bitcoin Inventor Satoshi Nakamoto Could Actually Be Group From Europe

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-are-legion dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto could be a group from Europe which has a strong footing in the financial sector. From the article: 'Josh Zerlan, the Chief Operating Officer of Butterfly Labs and a person familiar with the Bitcoin network, has said it is highly likely that Nakamoto could be a group of people working the financial sector. Speaking to IBTimes UK on the sidelines of a Global Bitcoin Conference in Bangalore, India, Zerlan said: "One of the prevailing theories, I think has credibility, is that it was some group of people from financial sector that created this. They released it and stepped back and let it go. So, Satoshi Nakamoto is a group of people, I think, is a reasonable possibility."'"

    Duh... It's a subdvision of the Keyser Söze Group in the W.A.S.T.E operations department of Illuminatus holdings conglomerate. A few years ago they had a hostile take over bid from KAOS but the man UNCLE subverted it.
