Craig Wright, an Australian entrepreneur, proved that he was Satoshi Nakamoto by signing a message with one of the earliest keys and moving coins known to belong to the first blocks. It looks like the authorities forced him to identify himself, he seems pretty livid about this in the interview. There was speculation that he was the guy after Australian tax officials raided him late last year.
"I would rather not [reveal my identity]," he said. "I want to work, I want to keep doing what I want to do. I don't want money. I don't want fame. I don't want adoration. I just want to be left alone."
Given that he owns as many bitcoins as legend says (several hundred million US dollars worth), what can the Aussie government really do in terms of tax evasion/what not? I mean, it's not like he was running a business, he CREATED the currency which makes up most of his assets, so he's not really laundering money or anything. Whatever the case may be, this is probably the most interesting tax evasion case of all time.
EDIT: Sorry to be a party pooper, but the guys over on /r/Bitcoin pointed out that the signature is pretty much meaningless, so we're still not sure that he's the creator of Bitcoin. There's a lot of evidence to show that he is, but we don't know for sure. All we know with absolute certainty is that this guy is a master troll.
