“Mr. Back did agree with me about some things. He acknowledged that he had the right background and skill set to be Satoshi. And he agreed that Satoshi was British, older than 50 and likely a member of the Cypherpunks. He also agreed with me about the inconsistency I’d noticed in the emails Satoshi had sent him: Satoshi would had to have known about b-money if he had read Mr. Back’s Hashcash paper, Mr. Back conceded.But he denied that the emails were a ruse to divert suspicion from himself. This might have been more convincing if he had agreed to produce the emails’ metadata. However, he continued to ignore my request for it.I still had a few things I wanted to confront Mr. Back with, but his aides said he had other meetings to attend. We took the elevator back down to the lobby and shook hands like two chess players after a hard-fought match.”
