Back when the first “who is Satoshi?” Hype was ripe, I sat down to do my own research. Long story short I identified 2 individuals with solid background in cryptography who were very active just before and during the time Satoshi was active. Both taught at a Japanese university but had native level English abilities. Much evidence pointed to their involvement. 

I scrapped all the research because even if it was the two of them, it would not serve anyone to reveal it. 

Chances are it wasn’t them, but it was fun looking at some alternative suspects that no one ever mentions.
