Bankless · “Finding Satoshi”—How a Private Investigator Solved the Mystery of Bitcoin’s Creator | Bill Cohan & Tyler Maroney · 4 May 2026 podcast

You know, you get done talking to him and you think, oh, my God, I've got to take every last shekel that I have and go out and buy as much Bitcoin as I possibly can immediately.

Right.

And then you like sleep on it and wake up the next morning and think, okay, maybe not.

And so that's when we decided that we needed to get Tyler involved and,

I think, set the film in a totally new direction and made it possible for us to get this conclusion that we feel pretty comfortable with.

But it's like, I mean, I got this incredible education about Bitcoin and I had a great time talking to all these fascinating people, but they didn't help, to be honest.

Yeah, I mean, I think...

I'm just speculating here because, you know, I would ask them why they wouldn't want to talk about it, him or whatever it was, and then they wouldn't want to answer that.

So...

I think it was a combination, if I may, of they were either, you know, heavily invested.

And I'm not attributing this to Michael Saylor, but obviously he's the most heavily invested and continues to be heavily invested.

Either they were heavily invested and therefore anything.

And what if we found out that Satoshi was like a criminal?

or a bad guy, or like a notoriously bad guy, you know, a sadist or a, you know, some, or an ax murderer or something, then the value of their investment would, I think, I mean, if it came out that Satoshi was an ax murderer, I think, you know, Bitcoin would be pretty, I would think, discredited and the value of their huge investment might go down the tubes.

And I think that's part of it.

And I think the other part of it is like, hey, it doesn't matter, Bill.

We're like, you know, 12 years because we started in 2020.

You know, we're 12 years beyond the white paper.

You know, why are you bothering with this?

I mean, yes, people have tried to figure this out, but you're better than this and you don't need to do this.
