Who created bitcoins?

http://www.business-standard.com/article/opinion/who-created-bitcoins-116050700892_1.html

The identity of the creator of bitcoins, the popular digital currency, remains a mystery. An Australian computer scientist, Craig White, recently claimed that he was the creator. But this claim has met with scepticism. The creator signed himself (or herself) "Satoshi Nakamoto" in a paper released in May 2008, where the concept of the crypto-currency was first outlined. Satoshi Nakamoto wanted a currency, which could not be controlled or tracked by governments or central banks. This had to be secured against fraud and forgery, while allowing users to be anonymous. In January 2009, the creator released a software programme, and then worked with software developers for about two years before withdrawing.
