If this is true, wow.

I've read about Paul Le Roux before as he is likely the person behind Trucrypt.

While he's a criminal, if he really created Truecrypt and Bitcoin and also ran an international drug/gun running operation...I'm impressed. I think this dude's story could make a awesome book/movie some day...

Here's at least one book on him: The Mastermind: Drugs. Empire. Murder. Betrayal. by Evan Ratliff.

Another is: Hunting LeRoux: The Inside Story of the DEA Takedown of a Criminal Genius and His Empire by Elaine Shannon.

Michael Mann has the rights to turn Hunting LeRoux into a film. He did Heat, Ali and Collateral (probably one of my favorite movies). Unfortunately, he also did Blackhat.

Ha, awesome. I should have googled for books/movies first.

Thanks for the info!

The book exists. It's named "The Mastermind". It's wild, really wild!

Also, the author of that book brought up the link to Satoshi. It's in his interest for the idea to be out there. Nobody would be looking up this book today, otherwise.

Really? The book is absolutely superb.

[rOOb85]

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Maybe he killed Satoshi and extorted the keys, in reverse order.

what you did there, I see.

Not a movie but a documentary on Netflix, The Big Boss: A 21st Century Criminal.

suggest you read his wikipedia entry. It’s sickening.
