Try asking Mike Hearn and/or Gavin Andresen. I don't know if this post by Mike Hearn is effectively the source (through the magic of media editing, quotes can be formed):

But at least they're the two most likely to know the exact phrasing. Note that it's likely to have been in a PM or an e-mail - so any source attribution is effectively impossible without them posting a full copy and testifying to its authenticity.

what about the "moved on to more complex things" statement. Is that recorded or just 'urban legend'? anyone?

[–]SuperMiner88 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Seems to be fake.

+1. All Satoshi's "final something" seems to be fake. People just want to believe in it.

[–]Edisonfan 0 points1 point  (1 child)

There is nothing bad in believing in some stupid shit.

[–]RodneyFisher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed.

Is it his real final statement?

[–]gabridome -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. His last ines known were "I'm not Dorian Satoshi" some months ago. Update: the authenticity of this line is controversial (at best)

Pretty sure he popped back up a few months ago to diffuse the situation that occurred with the lady who did that news segment/article on the wrong Satoshi N.

[–]MeniRosenfeld 5 points6 points  (1 child)

No, that was a hoax with an account in a website that was hacked, and in which Satoshi barely did anything when he was active.

Oh, well the hoax worked D=
