Association with Bitcoin Core Developers 1
There is evidence suggesting Epstein may have had contact with the Bitcoin founding team, even claiming to have "communicated with the Bitcoin creator"1. However, it should be noted that there is no direct evidence he has contacted Satoshi Nakamoto himself.
Summary: Epstein was an early key participant in Bitcoin, influencing the industry through financial support and conceptual discussions, but he did not directly control Bitcoin technology or core development1. His connections are more at the investment and ideological levels rather than technical control.
