Evidence:

* Both Le Roux and Satoshi did significant cryptography projects.

* Both Le Roux and Satoshi work in C++.

* Wright claimed in legal filings to have been involved with Le Roux.

* Allegedly, Wright and a friend have built a cluster of computers to crack secrets, which the theory presumes to be the password for a TrueCrypt volume with Le Roux's bitcoin key.

* Le Roux has an alias, "Solotshi", which sounds like Satoshi.

* Le Roux published a short manifesto, long before Bitcoin, that echoes some Bitcoin principles.

* Satoshi disappeared at about the same time Le Roux was really kicking his criminal conspiracy into gear.

* A forum post presaging Bitcoin was posted from the Netherlands, where Le Roux is from.

I mean, judge this stuff for yourself. Independently: a lot of people want this to be true.
