"So very simple for them, they can claim that Satoshi might be dead. But, that claim comes with counter-attacks. It assumes that Satoshi has no family, nobody who cared for him, and that person was an isolated individual who left no evidence or people in that individual’s life who could know anything about bitcoin. They will claim Hal Finney, but there’s a problem with Hal Finney that can be easily demonstrated in court. Hal Finney wasn’t able to post throughout much of 2010. This was when I was most active as Satoshi online publicly. At times when direct updates were being made, Hal Finney was in an NMRi machine which precludes using a computer, of course."
