The guy's name is Phil Wilson (scronty). A kiwi programmer who lives in Sydney, who didn't know a thing about cypherpunks, or digital currencies. He was engaged into a project Craig Wright was working on to create a digital currency for a gambling website.
Craig gave him some reading material from cypherpunk forums. He researched the cypherpunk movement, and he went in deep. Realised Craig Wright's preliminary code base needed to be rewritten from the ground up. When Craig Wright said he would like to meet up and revealed where he lived (in Sydney 2 suburbs away from Phil), it made Phil panic thinking that the government was tracking him down. He destroyed his computers Mr Robot style and went to underground.
He needs a crucial piece of evidence to stake his claim: the credit card transaction with a specific bank to purchase bitcoin.org domain. This is where my friend comes in as he knows people at this bank, and can maybe get access to the tape archives.
