Amjad Masad on the Possibility of Paul Le Roux Being the Creator of Bitcoin

A conversation with AI expert and Silicon Valley entrepreneur Amjad Masad about the possibility of Paul Le Roux being the man behind Bitcoin.

Paul Le Roux is a cryptography expert, and developed E4M (Encryption for the Masses), one of the first free, open-source disk encryption programs, which was released in 1998.

Years later, as a crime boss, he orchestrated complex operations, and created sophisticated networks for his illicit enterprises.

He was arrested in 2012, and sentenced in 2020. Le Roux is currently serving a 25 year prison sentence.
