I’ve recently read that previously unreleased emails from the early Bitcoin’s developer/creator Satoshi Nakamoto have been made available. The data shows emails from him with timestamps and email addresses. But ofc there’s plenty of data left behind potentially tracking him (Github’s accounts and repositories for example).

Some years ago I also remember reading that US authorities supposedly were looking for him. But couldn’t find him.

I wonder: how, with this wealth of data they couldn’t do that? Couldn’t they contact the email provider, check IP addresses, contact internet service providers, map IP addresses’ users and identify him (or significantly restrict the field of people)?

Are enforcement agencies incompetent? Are these data too old to be useful in any way and/or authorities didn’t have such data up until now? Are authorities not really looking for him?

Feel free to random chit-chat but I’d like to have someone’s expert opinion on the topic. If any.

PS: I’m posting here cause I don’t use the Bitcoin sub, so I don’t feel like asking there asking there about anonimity and the likes.
