Martti Malmi was one of the first people publicly known to work with Satoshi himself. Apparently CSW is getting desperate if he's starting to pull shit out of his arse.

Here's Martti's old interview. Pretty based: https://www.theverge.com/2015/6/10/8751933/the-shy-college-student-who-helped-build-bitcoin-into-a-global

Why not?

In his first email to Satoshi Nakamoto, in May 2009, Martti had offered his services:

"I would like to help with Bitcoin, if there’s something I can do," he wrote.

Before reaching out to Satoshi, Martti had written about Bitcoin on anti-state.org, a forum dedicated to the possibility of an anarchist society organized only by the market. Using the screen name Trickster, Martti gave a brief description of the Bitcoin idea and asked for thoughts:

"What do you think about this? I’m really excited about the thought of something practical that could truly bring us closer to freedom in our lifetime :-)"

Martti included a link to this post in his first email to Satoshi, and Satoshi quickly read it and responded.

"Your understanding of Bitcoin is spot on," Satoshi wrote back.

"A primer to explain Bitcoin to the world"

Satoshi quickly gave Martti practical suggestions for how he could help the project. The most important was the simplest: to leave his computer on with the Bitcoin program running. Five months after Bitcoin was launched, it was still not possible to trust that someone somewhere was running the Bitcoin program.

As to the more complicated programming needs, Satoshi told Martti that there was "not much that’s easy right now." But, Satoshi added, the Bitcoin website did need introductory material for beginners and Martti seemed like the right person for the job.

"My writing is not that great — I am a much better coder," Satoshi wrote, encouraging Martti to try his hand.

Two days later, Martti proved Satoshi right by sending a lengthy but accessible document addressing seven basic questions, ready to be posted on the Bitcoin website. Martti provided straightforward, if occasionally stilted, answers to questions like, "Is Bitcoin safe?" and "Why should I use Bitcoin?"

Satoshi liked the document so much that Martti was quickly given full credentials for the Bitcoin website, allowing him to make any improvements he wanted.

Martti Malmi is more based than Gavin and worked with Satoshi before Gavin even came. Martti believes Craig is full of shit. Gavin looks like a damn sỏy boy.
