Craig Wright
Craig Wright is an Australian Bitcoin enthusiast. On December 9 2015 articles in Wired[1] and Gizmodo[2] pointed to him as a possible candidate for the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
These claims, despite being echoed by media worldwide, are very quickly collecting evidence to the contrary. On December 12th Wired[3] published a new article suggesting that the weight of the evidence is against Wright being Satoshi.
