Two of the first ip`s that mined bitcoin were like a 3 hour drive in between each other. (probably remote viewing to a office computer)
Also satoshi sent Hal the first transaction, if you created bitcoin would you not test it on your own address, like lol come on doods.
I also thought Hal was satoshi for awhile, I also am pretty sure he is still alive. I mean in the blockchain of real time technically you never die, as everything is locked and time stamped in duration.
Although bitcoin is like 99% of the work of these people combined

So respect to them, Although I really do wish satoshi would come back and lead our species to freedom, because seriously we are pretty fucked if he/she does not.
