Hal was a cryptographer even before his involvement with Bitcoin. He was on the mailing list that receivedย Satoshi Nakamotoโ€™s Bitcoin white paper.

Hal claimed that he had beenย communicating with Satoshiย to support his testing, which led to the speculative conclusion that he himself was Satoshi.

Halโ€™s writing style also closely resembles that of Satoshiโ€™s in the Bitcoin white paper. The suspicion evaporated when he showed his email conversation with Satoshi, but that could just be a diversion tactic.

Fun fact:ย Hal was the first person to receive a Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi on January 12, 2009, after Satoshi mined the genesis block onย 3rd January 2009 at 18:15:05 GMT.
