Metzger also reminded that Satoshi Nakamoto has not harmed the world to date, has not moved the Bitcoin assets under his control, and has consciously chosen to remain anonymous, asserting that this anonymity should be respected. He also noted that those who were unfairly accused in the past have endured serious difficulties, citing, as an example, the problems faced by Hal Finney’s family, who was battling ALS ( боковым амиотрофическим склерозом ). Metzger also stated that he does not believe that the names he often mentions—such as Nick Szabo and Hal Finney—belong to Satoshi, adding that such claims are often based on weak evidence. He explained that analyzing the writing styles of hundreds of people from a mailing list and presenting random similarities as “evidence” is a flawed approach.
