2) If it's not Szabo, it could be a conglomerate of people (not one guy).
...These coders were very connected back then.
...Hard to imagine that it's NOT part of the group that's commonly referenced. Szabo/Finney/Back etc.
I lean to Bitcoin being the invention of some think tank.... perhaps an "agency" invention - an uncorrupt but freedom-loving part of an "agency". Satoshi being the spokesman...

I believe Satoshi still holds 1 million BTC. Will be interesting to see if money from that wallet ever moves.... If it does, that will be BIG, big news...
