He is probably not Satoshi because Bitcoin was meant to be everything opposite of a currency for money laundering hence triple ledger accounting aka blockchain. After all see Bitcoin whitepaper and read carefully each sentence and you will realize it was meant for internet commerce and last thing you want in ecommerce is fraud and money laundering.

On the other hand Craig Wright is the most possible candidate for Satoshi by far. There are too many clues leading to him for example like this one https://seclists.org/basics/2006/Mar/270 or a small detail like word "bloody" which Satoshi used and it is usual for people using British vocab which Craig being Australian uses, I heard it in his presentations. And btw Craig said he was involved in cracking of TrueCrypt with law enforcement that explains why creator of TrueCrypt is mentioned in court documents.
