I don't buy it. Satoshi Nakamoto was most likely Hal Finney.

1) Finney lived in very close to Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto (who happened to be unrelated to Bitcoin) - it's possible that he used his name.

2) Finney was the first person to perform a bitcoin transaction with Satoshi Nakamoto

3) Satoshi Nakamoto stopped writing messages after Finney died

There are a few other reasons I'm forgetting, but the coincidences are too many.

Interestingly, Hal Finney had himself cryopreserved. He may have invented Bitcoin, to get resurrected 150 years later...
