Give it a read, I think I am kind of convinced, I always thought Satoshi was Hal Finney. I would love to know what you guys think about this.
Would love to hear some more stuff from OG members.
I don't know about Nick Szabo but about Hal Finney who passed away by a disease, there is an article from Jameson Lopp in which he proved that Hal Finey is not Satoshi Nakamoto. Honestly, I am quite convinced that Hal is not Satoshi after reading it.

Why Hal Finney was not Satoshi Nakamoto?

Same here! I don't know about Nick Szabo. I already read that news about the identification about Hal Finey. Yes, Hal Finey isn't Satoshi Nakamoto. Hal Finey and Satoshi Nakamoto were very close friend. Both are also a programmer. Their best contribution is Bitcoin. Here @thymos represents their existence.

I try to research the name of the guy mentioned and the result is this

Code:
Nick Szabo is a legendary figure in the world of blockchain and digital currency. An esteemed computer scientist, legal scholar, and cryptographer, he is best known for his pioneering work in digital currencies and smart contracts, which paved the way for the emergence of blockchain technology.
got the source from google, but I don't know if I pick the right person and this is the link to know more about him https://blockchainjungle.com/blogs/speakers/nick-szabo

But honestly I don't know this guy, he just pop up into some discussion and maybe there are people just to stir out things then point another entity then call that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Until no proof provided maybe its better not to believe on such story since as been said anyone can claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto.
