It features Adam Back, this British cryptographer, who is actually a pretty influential person in the Bitcoin community.

He's got this mini empire of Bitcoin-related companies.

And he's sitting on a bench in Riga, Latvia, next to the filmmaker, whose name is Colin Hoback.

And Cullen starts enumerating the big Satoshi suspects.

And when he gets to Adam Back's name, you see Adam Back get very tense.

His eyes start darting all over the place.

His left hand gets all fidgety, and he denies vociferously that he's Satoshi.

And I've come across a lot of liars in my career.

And to me, his behavior was a tell.

It is.

She's not the only liar I've come across in my career, but she was a pretty big one.

So the thing with Satoshi is that he was really good at hiding his footprints on the internet.

The upshot is that there's not really any way to track Satoshi.

And that leaves you with just his writings, which are...

the nine-page Bitcoin white paper, his emails to a couple of internet mailing lists, and which are his emails to early Bitcoin adopters.

Yes, absolutely.

There's no question that the real Satoshi is behind these texts.

So that gives you a little something to work with.

And I started reading it.

And it was difficult reading because I didn't know anything about cryptography and I didn't know anything about computer science and coding.
