Why say Paul Solotshi instead of Paul Le Roux, a name everyone is far more familiar with? None of the evidence presented was compelling. It was circumstantial at best. Save yourself the five minutes it takes to read this article.
Seriously. The author apparently considers "both are familiar with payments" evidence.
So sincere question...does this matter? What is added to the social value of bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general? I'm not asking to just dismiss it...just why we are perpetually having/focusing on this discussion is intriguing to me

Why all this silliness? Everyone knows it was made by the grumpy Aussie man.
But I wonder if Craig Wright does in fact have a bunch of FDE drives that he's trying to crack.
And if they are Le Roux's drives, I wonder what will go down if he ever gets released.

Circumstantial evidence is often strong enough and compelling enough to determine court cases. Circumstantial evidence is often better than direct evidence.
Circumstantial evidence: Stuff like DNA, fingerprints
Direct evidence: Bob's memory of the event.

But please, continue using "the evidence is circumstantial" as if it means that it's not good enough.
After 7 years in the crypto space, I'm still not convinced of any particular Satoshi theory. That being said, Nick Szabo, Hal Finney, and Paul Le Roux all have decent evidence pointing to them.
Edit: OK, maybe it was earlier. I did say vaguely.
On the other hand Craig Wright is the most possible candidate for Satoshi by far. There are too many clues leading to him for example like this one https://seclists.org/basics/2006/Mar/270 or a small detail like word "bloody" which Satoshi used and it is usual for people using British vocab which Craig being Australian uses, I heard it in his presentations. And btw Craig said he was involved in cracking of TrueCrypt with law enforcement that explains why creator of TrueCrypt is mentioned in court documents.
