Hal was a cryptographer even before his involvement with Bitcoin. He was on the mailing list that received Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin white paper.
Hal claimed that he had been communicating with Satoshi to support his testing, which led to the speculative conclusion that he himself was Satoshi.
Hal’s writing style also closely resembles that of Satoshi’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: Hal was the first person to receive a Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi on January 12, 2009, after Satoshi mined the genesis block on 3rd January 2009 at 18:15:05 GMT.
