This guy claims [0] to have evidence of who Satoshi Nakamoto is. Basically he claims it's Adam Back because he used the same linker for Hashcash as for (a very early version) Bitcoin.

Sounds thick milky to me, what you guys think?

It seems unlikely to me at this point that Satoshi was anyone but Hal Finney. Until someone touches Satoshi’s wallets, the coincidences are just too great.

I was sure too about Hal Finney until i saw this video [0]. There are a few more references that it is more likely that Adam Back could be Satoshi.

so essentially, everyone in the world using the same linker version is Satoshi (no, not many people love to update to the latest and greatest. Many stick to what works and don't touch the env unless Microsoft surreptitiously updates your machine). The plot thickens ...

I recently came across this: https://evanhatch.medium.com/len-sassaman-and-satoshi-e483c8...

which lays out a pretty compelling case for Len Sassaman being Satoshi. Len worked alongside Hal on PGP

There's a video of Peter Thiel from last year where he states that Satoshi attended the Financial Cryptography conference in Anguilla in Feb. 2000. This possibly points to Ian Grigg. I'm inclined to think Thiel has better intel than most people but who knows.
