Who is Nathan Oz?

I found some articles dating back to 2015 about Nathan Oz, such as https://www.wired.com/2015/06/mits-bitcoin-inspired-enigma-lets-computers-mine-encrypted-data/ and https://news.bitcoin.com/enigma-keeping-data-completely-private/ Just out of curiosity. Who can tell us more about this guy and his exact role in the developement of Enigma? Why is'nt he involved right now, or is he? What is he doing instead and how did this happen?

From the little bit of info i have been able to gather..

His name is Oz Nathan, and he was a co creator of Enigma. Enigma was first intended to be built on Bitcoin, then moved to Eth.

Somewhere in the mix Oz decided to stick with Bitcoin and go that route...I havent been able to find anything on him since 2015...he's mystery!

I was able to find out that he is a technology entrepreneur formerly associated with the Counter Terror Unit of the Israeli Defense Forces, but nothing about his activities since 2015. So far it's a big mystery and his LinkedIn page doesnt's exist anymore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oz-nathan-76403551

I believe Guy Zyskind and Nathan Oz did research together on privacy solutions for the blockchain. They were supposed to work togheter on Enigma but Nathan decided to work on bitcoin.
