Leonard Sassaman

This is the name of a student at the University of Leuven in Belgium, of which his professors say he was a real cyberphunk.

But what does this have to do with Bitcoin? Well, HBO releases a documentary on Wednesday, called “Money Electric, The Bitcoin Mystery”. And they claim to have found the inventor of Bitcoin, in the form of Leonard Sassaman.

Doubts

His former professors have their doubts, but don’t rule it out. But serious proof will be necessary to convince people about it. Most still think Hal Finney is the man behind Bitcoin. Both Finney and Sassaman died in 2011, which coincides with the silence of “Satoshi Nakamoto” since then.

Len Sassaman died of suicide on the 3rd of July of 2011, before he entered his doctorate thesis at the University of Leuven.

A very interesting story, so I am very curious about the documentary.

Sincerely,
