Gov/CIA most definitely knows who Satoshi is.

Even if he always used TOR/anonymous IPs, when accessing his @gmx.com account, with the number of sign-in's he had, it must be an absolute certainty, that he want through rogue exit nodes or some other de-anonymization methods we are not aware of, but deployed by gov. agencies.

This is my assumption. It's too critical a question to leave unanswered, from a national security perspective.

Why would he be of interest to national security? He is possibly a rich dude, but beyond that?

An IP was leaked in 2009 though tied to Satoshi in Los Angles

I think that "IP leak" is extremely dubious and is predicated on both misunderstandings of how freenode worked and an incorrect assumption that no one else was running Bitcoin early on.

It would be great if you could elaborate on that technically. Are you saying Satoshi wasn’t running a node that day? or there were more than the two nodes? I plan to read the code tomorrow they were running and look at the debug.log and would like to understand what you are trying to say technically.
