That guy isn't in the bitcoin community (unless he is satoshi I guess) as far I understand. He was questioned because he is English and at a crypto conference.

But still not answering and laughing doesn't mean anything. Even saying that "I wouldn't tell you if I was" doesn't mean anything. I thinking speaker obviously means that Satoshi wouldn't tell you, and obviously he wouldn't.

Popular Moscow based news website lenta.ru reports that rusleaks.org is closed and asking for money via bitcoin.

rusleaks.org is apparently somewhat similar to wikileaks in nature, and is hosted outside of Russia.
Apparently the Russian Federal telecommunications department (RSKOMNADZOR) is trying to shut it down.




The site currently states (translated via google):

It's not clear to me the exact nature of what the material rusleaks is/was leaking. Perhaps some russian speaking bitcoiners can clarify.

No idea why this thread suddenly went un-sticky.

Moderator, can you fix?
