Adam Back responds to the NYT investigation identifying him as Satoshi:
"There's an element of confirmation bias because you are inherently pre-selecting people who are interested in similar things. They're programmers. They're interested in privacy, in cryptography. So of course they're going to sound similar superficially."
"Satoshi actually left the space in about 2011, 2012, stopped participating in forums. The digital footprints, the breadcrumbs dried up 14 years ago. Nobody's found anything conclusive."
"The most probable situation is that Satoshi is somebody who's not talking to documentary film crews, to investigative journalists. It seems probable that we'll never know unless there's some inheritance event or the quantum topic, maybe he will have to move his keys."
