It is impossible to find someone you yourself (secret government services) lost. Grin


Even with current anonymization technologies, the most prominent cybercriminals/activists get caught.
Yes, the cybercriminals get caught because they are criminals and they do something which harms others while Satoshi Nakamoto made something that has changed the world and that's why he's still safe from anyone's hands.
Now even those who write the code in the apps (the creators of tornadocash and samurai wallet) are called criminals, accusing them of money laundering, illegal transactions, etc., but we know what the true reason for their persecution is (the fight against confidentiality and privacy). Purely technically, Satoshi can also be accused of such “sins” and this would be a good reason for government organizations to start hunting for him (the legal right to initiate a criminal case allows them to begin searching for and determining his identity closely).
 
Satoshi was a true geek and he knew everything about the privacy, and anonymity, and when he created and released that anonymity and privacy he did it carefully so no one could actually know his true identity. I know that each organization has some predictions about him but no one actually know who Satoshi was.
There are no perfect crimes actions on the Internet, and Satoshi could have made a mistake somewhere and left clues for his de-anonymization.
