Informational only. This is an open source collection of what others have published about the incident, together with an explanation of it. It is not financial, security or legal advice, and not a substitute for professional advice about your own situation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or speaking for Coinkite. Material is attributed and quoted as published; where sources disagree their scenarios are kept separate with their assumptions rather than reconciled into one answer. Everything is meant to be checked against the linked evidence rather than taken on trust. Act on your own judgement about a particular situation. Editorial standards and corrections.

TheFuzzStone's dated timeline of the incident, running from Peter D. Gray and Rodolfo Novak's pre-Bitcoin work together in 2010 through Coinkite's founding, the 2013 creation of Gray's GPG key, the pivot to hardware and the first Mk1 shipments, and continuing into the switck identity. Registered as the most complete public chronology assembled during the first week, and as the form in which the identity claim reached a general audience. It is a compilation, dates and inferences alike are the author's, and the archive does not verify the identity attribution it carries; the underlying artefact is at dylanleclair1-switck-key-attribution.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
