Len was an excellent cryptographer (and a very good friend), but he couldn't write code like Satoshi. He was not Satoshi. He would have been amused by the idea that people thought he was. Satoshi is - a different chap :) Peter Fairbrother

My take would be that Hal was Satoshi., but we can't proof it, I strongly assume. And at the and it is better to not know who Satoshi was, I guess. Regards Stefan
