I think that's plausible particularly because he emailed someone asking them to leak his message about not being Dorian, and that person heavily edited / redacted it; it's quite possible that is a recurring theme.
Also in the Gawker article we are told Wright emailed Kleiman asking for "help editing a paper", "I need your help and I need a version of me to make this work that is better than me."
- kijin 11y agoNotice that most of Wright's retroactive editing to make himself look like Satoshi took place in 2013-2014, shortly after Kleiman died. Perhaps Kleiman was the one who really wanted to keep Satoshi's identity a secret, but Wright had different ambitions and now he doesn't have his friend to rein him in anymore.
- perseusprime1 11y agoPossible. Kleiman seems to have stuck to not outing Satoshi at the expense of his own money problems.
- astronautjones 11y agoI think this is the most likely case.
- mmortal03 11y agoWell, according to one of the leaked e-mails, Wright originally wanted Kleiman's help in concealing his identity, but it's possible he could've changed his mind over time. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Oqntva_c--/knlyk7dpjqucpmiojhs8.png http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Oqntva_c...
- o_nate 11y agoOr Kleiman & Wright formed the Satoshi identity as a collaboration, and after Kleiman died, Wright decided to edit the historical record to take more of the credit for himself.
