http://www.mirror.co.uk/tech/mysterious-billionaire-inventor-bitcoin-could-7715752the bottom line is that it was possibly three people, two are already dead and only one guy remains, Craig Wright, an Australian academic.
A source [might be J Matonis, who is specifically named at the end of the article] with close ties to the cryptograpy [sic!] community and telecoms industry told The Mirror that the story had already been sent to select media under an embargo which lifts this weekend.
Our source claimed: "The man behind Bitcoin has given the story to a television company and a newspaper.
"The creator of this currency wants to take control of his invention."

One of these men was purportedly a celebrated British mathematician who learned his trade as part of the World War II code-breaking team at Bletchley Park.
The other is an American tech security expert who died at a relatively young age just months before the British maths genius passed away himself.
However, these claims have proved highly controversial and remain unsubstantiated, so we have decided not to publish the two men's names.
Not sure who they refer to as celebrated British mathematician.
American was described before, but I don't remember his last name exactly (Klurman?)
I think if C. Wright is the guy, bitcoin will take a 10-20% hit initially.
i am also not sure how relevant it is in the long run.
So, he has 1 mil coins, a lot, of course, but not the majority.
He is probably eager to sell them to banks or funds, slowly.
Not sure what the result would be.
Certainly, having no input into 6 years of development, how much influence he could bear?
