I know it is a fantasy but the real "Satoshi" responding to this post would do unfathomable things to Bitcoin right now. I just enjoyed the thought of it for a second.
Satoshi is dead, unfortunately.
He died, yes. But then He rose again.
Did you already break the Elliptic Curve, Satoshi, you there?

Unfortunately they sealed the tomb with a cryptographically-secure boulder this time and they've been waiting patiently in the dark for someone to decipher the pattern in the public keys so they can be released.
(Obligatory disclaimer: this is a joke, do not go making a religion out of this.)

If you feel happier believing that then you are free to do so. Each of us have our own fantasies.

Who was it, do you think?
Most likely Szabo.
There's no way it was Szabo, although Szabo likes people to think it was him. Szabo's ideas for p2p currency were directly opposed to the structure of bitcoin, and he continued professing these views and critiques of bitcoin long after bitcoin was launched and achieved some measure of success.

Due to the tendency to patch and mitigate known security vulnerabilities, there is a norm within cryptography to assume that parties will possess technologies which are more advanced than are publicly disclosed.

Who? Satoshi? Pseudonymous C++ programmer coding digital cash experiment in his home. Satoshi wasn't a cryptographer[0].
