I didn't say they were evil, but most of the early activity around bitcoin was swirling around in the dark markets which I think is totally fair to describe as shady.

Those were the users, not the creators.

To this day nobody knows who Satoshi Nakamoto actually is, while that's not super shady it also ain't exactly transparent.

I wasn't referring to the users, but the creators and the users are inextricable, someone "created" all those dark markets where the users participated.
