One of the main developers of the first Bitcoin code, and later the leading BitPay developer Jeff Garzik, said in an interview with Bloomberg that behind the image of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is computer security expert Dave Kleiman, who died in 2013.

"The one behind the Bitcoin code was an unprecedentedly intelligent man, but he was not a classical software engineer with an education. Kleiman was self-taught, and the code responds to his programming style, ”said Garzik..

The alleged creator of Bitcoin got into a motorcycle accident in 1995, after which he was confined to a wheelchair, and in 2013 he died from a staph infection.

In favor of Garzik’s theory, the fact is that Kleiman Ira’s brother in February 2018 sued the Australian Craig Wright, who declared himself a real Satoshi Nakamoto. Ira Kleiman said that Wright wrongfully appropriated the intellectual property of his brother and a million Bitcoins. As evidence in court, he provided the correspondence of Dave Kleiman and Craig Wright, from which it follows that it was Dave who created Bitcoin.
