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.
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.
Adam put enough effort into proclaiming that Bitcoin was based on the concept of HashCash that, if he was Satoshi, Satoshi would have given HashCash more credit.
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 ...
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.
