I went through Satoshi Nakamoto's wallets; thread of new findings that I don't think have been previously reported including:

-My best guess is that Satoshi was last active onchain in 2014
-He may have used a Canadian BTC exchange (!)
-Kraken may know the identity of Satoshi

- A Patoshi Mining Pattern set of addresses were recently cataloged by Arkham. We can't definitively link these to Satoshi but there is good evidence
-In total, this research points to Satoshi owning 1.096M BTC, $108B worth, making them wealthier on paper than Bill Gates

-There are 24 documented outbound sends from these addresses
-The most popular destination address was to 1PYYj
-Incredibly, this address received BTC from Cavirtex, a Canadian exchange. I believe this is the first documented onchain between a Satoshi linked wallet and a CEX

This address is also associated with funding 12ib, one of the largest active BTC address of all time, which hold 3B of BTC today.

This lends credence to the link that 1PY was associated with Satoshi or a very early adopter/contributor

CaVirtEx was purchased by Kraken in 2016. As such. there is a chance that @jespow has information on the true identity behind Satoshi, if they maintained any KYC information on this wallet. My advice to him would be to delete the data

@jespow These Satoshi-linked addresses sent 200 BTC to the Bitcoin faucet across 2 transactions. Back in the day you could fill out a CAPTCHA and get 5 BTC for free. good times

@jespow At the very least, this will allow us to get evidence once and for all to determine if the Patoshi mining pattern is definitely linked to only Satoshi

@jespow This is the first set of evidence I've seen in years that has decreased my confidence that Satoshi was Len

@jespow There is also a possibility that the 500 btc sent to 1PYYj (Canadian linked wallet) in 2010 was a send to another party.

In which case we have a new documented case of a Satoshi payment
