[Cryptography] MAybe he's Adam Back, maybe not

[John Levine]

A long piece in the New York Times claims to have figured out that Satoshi is
really Adam Back. Some of the clues seem plausible, like linguistic quirks and
relations to hashcash, some less so like the code being written in C++. The
reporter seems not to realize how small and interwoven the cypherphunk community
was. Yes, Satoshi know all about the stuff Back was doing. But so did everyone
else.

Back says, no, really, I'm not.
