If Satoshi Nakamoto is a person and alive, wont he come out and claim the fame and success his invention has achieve so far?
Who is that person?
he is a systems engineer, his name is Dorian Nakamoto, the man who first suspected he was the creator of Bitcoin was a journalist named Leah McGrath Goodman. he related Dorian's background to a physicist with cryptographic abilities. the journalist forced Dorian for interview, even he had to camp in front of his house and inevitably Dorian had to deal with him but that ended in misunderstanding, Dorian himself wrote a post on Reddit entitled "Ask Me Anything" to clarify the news.
but in my opinion with that background, he is still the strong candidate as the creator of Bitcoin, although in a P2P forum there is a user with username SatoshiNakamoto said, that he is not Dorian Nakamoto and Dorian had clarified himself in Reddit but still he can do that to cover the truth.
