God knows who the creator of bitcoin is.
I doubt it.
Topic: Does the NSA know who Satoshi is? (Read 8732 times)
You're assuming Satoshi is one individual. This might ( for all we know ) be completely untrue. As someone suggested, it could be a codename for a project, or a group of people.
It's likely the real Satoshi has been suicided. The Stanley Meyer case is a good example of what happens to inventors when powerful groups / corporations start looking for you.
Then who wrote this?
If he/they live in the USA, it's likely. If not, another intelligence agency might, but it's unlikely they would give the NSA their information on him/them.
If the NSA created Bitcoin, why did the CIA need Gavin to brief them on what it was?
So you would be able to ask that question.
Hypothesis: Bitcoin is the creation of NSA, but only a few people inside NSA would know about it. CIA would go by the official story that Bitcoin was created by the lonely programmer Satoshi. Even if they knew the truth they wanted to pretend as if they believed in the official Satoshi story.

Quite likely that they do

SATOSHI is actually the code name for the secret cryptocurrency project, started in 2006.
Wow! If this is true than I'm sure NSA already know about Satoshithe NSA is watching us, watch out what you're going to type, if they know who Satoshi is, they can definitely track us down using our IPs!

Probably have considered views about the identity of the folks behind the satoshi working group
The NSA is not omniscient by any means, but it is hard to rule out the possibility

YES.
what if he always routed through an encrypted tunnel to a vpn?
Which he did. No-one knows any IP he has ever connected from. The guy was ultra careful.
Isn't that even more suspicious?
What makes you all think the NSA created it over the CIA? CIA has the higher beings working for them.
YES.

I don't believe the NSA created bitcoin because they do not care about currency. The CIA might have a need to create it, the way TOR was created by US Navy Research Lab. But then Treasury would be against and so would the federal bank. The thing is, as much as people (not us on bitcointalk) want to believe, government usually do not know what his left foot is doing that would make his right foot go the opposite way. Many Black box projects are so secret that referencing it or even think about them would send you in jail. Look at the reaction from Lavabit. Can't talk about it. So financing a bitcoin black box project would not cost that much compared to a Los Alamos project or keeping all those people fed at Area 51 for all those years.
This could simply be the "virus escaping the lab" type scenario.
Why does it matter who satoshi is/is not? Whether his identity is known or not would not make a big difference to Bitcoin.
If Satoshi is not a real person then who ordered the Pizza?
Several months late but...Satoshi didn't buy the pizzas, laszlo did.
Satoshi's perfectly real, though
chances are... they know... who your mother is.. 
now that's information worth governmental funding! I know who my mother is too!
