While growing in popularity, one of the biggest mysteries has been “Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?” whose name authored the first essay on Bitcoins in 2008, as well was the creator of its initial code. While there was much speculation on who the creator is, an individual, group of inventors, corporation, or government sponsored endeavor? There has always been little doubt that the name Satoshi Nakamoto was a pseudonym.

Sticking to the original name, in McGrath Goodman’s report, she sought after leads using the Satoshi Nakamoto title. The investigation led her to Japanese born Dorian Prentice Nakamoto, who had been born with the name Satoshi, a 64-year old engineer and mathematician, who currently resides in Temple City, California. A libertarian, Nakamoto has been known for living a secretive life with much of his family, including his brothers and six children being excluded of knowledge of his work which included contracts with US government agencies.
