Yes. Gavin assisted Economist's write up:

"Still, as far as we can tell he indeed seems to be in possession of the keys, at least for block 9. This assessment is shared by two bitcoin insiders who have sat through the same demonstration: Jon Matonis, a bitcoin consultant and former director of the Bitcoin Foundation, and Gavin Andresen, Mr Nakamoto’s successor as the lead developer of the cryptocurrency’s software (he has since passed on the baton, but is still contributing to the code)."

Check out Economist's write up. Lots of detail. Not just the 5 minute video. http://www.economist.com/news/briefings/21698061-craig-steve... HN sub: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11609708

Lots of text. Where's the signature?

I read that. He doesn't give the message that is signed (just the digest and a screen shot of a small portion of the file). Without the actual data, this can't be verified.
