It looks pretty certain the bitcoin creator has been found...

And like Wikileaks, it's not all that surprising it's come out of Australia. Bunch of larrikins!

Lots of fascinating discussion here:

I am _very_ sceptical that this is even slightly accurate.

I'd seen that before I posted, though I don't pretend to follow the technical discussion. But the claim that Andresen's blog had been hacked has been discounted...

My guess would be that Andresen and satoshi had at least a few private communications back in the day that only they would know about and which Wright could've revealed to Andresen to help convince him.
