Maybe @theymos has some personal reasons to think so - because most of us don't have any great knowledge about LS in the sense of what kind of person he was compared to the person who introduced himself on this forum as Satoshi. There is some evidence or rather clues that point to LS as a possible candidate, but his widow says that she does not believe that her late husband was Satoshi.
The thing about some clues pointing out he is not Satoshi, well, if I would start now a secret project the first thing to hide my identity would be claiming I've only been once on a visit to Europe and insert a few evasive lines about studying somewhere where they teach Chinese or some other alphabet so the Stompix will never be on the list of suspects at all
The problem with proving someone is Satoshi is that if the guy denies it or he is dead you can't make sure he was even if
- you find the keys in one of his laptops (it was planted there by the CIA)
- his wife says so (she was paid by the real satoshi to say that)
- he left a will (it is fake)
and so on and on!
I think the only possibility in which Satoshi is truly revealed and accepted is the one in which it was a governmental agency doing it and they discretize the papers after 50 years.
