#LenSassaman , a notable figure in the #cypherpunk movement and a privacy advocate, has emerged as #Polymarket 's top candidate for the true identity of #SatoshiNakamoto , especially in light of an upcoming HBO documentary. Sassaman, who died by suisyde in 2011, was deeply involved in cryptography and privacy technologies, contributing to fields like PGP encryption.
Evan Leung Hatch's theory posits that Sassaman's abrupt end might be linked to Satoshi's final message, which hinted at moving on from Bitcoin. Leung also draws connections between Sassaman's late-night online activity and Satoshi's posting patterns, further bolstering his argument.
Currently, Polymarket gives Sassaman a 45% chance of being revealed as Nakamoto in the documentary, with other candidates like Hal Finney trailing at 18.9%. Notably, controversial figures like Craig Wright are receiving minimal bets, reflecting skepticism about their claims to be Satoshi.
While there are expectations from some reports that the documentary may unveil Nakamoto's identity, #HBO's promotional material remains vague, leaving the community in suspense.
