Sounds insane, right? But stay with me — this theory has some serious twists.
Some in the crypto world believe that Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin$BTC , might actually be Paul Le Roux — a Zimbabwean-born coder turned cartel boss.
Who exactly is Paul Le Roux?
A tech prodigy.
In the early 2000s, he developed unbreakable encryption tools like E4M — software so secure, it even gave the NSA headaches. He was a staunch privacy advocate and wrote his own manifesto on digital freedom. Sound familiar?
But then he went full dark mode.
He started shady online pharmacies. Then scaled it into a full-blown global crime syndicate: fake passports, encrypted comms, drug trafficking, even hits-for-hire. The guy ran his operation like a private military.
By 2008, he needed a way to move massive amounts of money — fast, and undetected.
Guess what else happened in 2008?
Bitcoin’$BTC s whitepaper dropped.
Now here’s where things get spooky:
One of Le Roux’s aliases?
Paul Solotshi Calder Le Roux.
Solotshi… Satoshi? Coincidence?
Satoshi vanished in 2010.
Le Roux was captured in 2012.
Then, during the famous Kleiman v Wright lawsuit, a leaked file mentioned Le Roux — linking him to Bitcoin$BTC for the first time.
He even told the judge he wanted to start a Bitcoin mining company. Suspicious?
Let’s check the boxes:
Brilliant coder? Yep.
Needed anonymous global transactions? Absolutely.
Obsessed with privacy? Without a doubt.
But there are some holes:
His coding style doesn’t match Satoshi’s.
Le Roux was reckless, Satoshi was methodical.
Bitcoin never showed up in his criminal dealings.
And Satoshi’s last known message was in 2014 — while Le Roux was locked up.
So what’s the truth?
Was Satoshi a lone genius? A group of privacy activists? Or… a criminal mastermind writing code between crimes?
What’s your theory? Drop it in the comments.
