I don't think he knows the exact identity of satoshi. If he does wouldn't you think that he will be threatened in the sense that secret agents might find a way to extract and get the information from him? Not sure if he still maintains contact with satoshi but definitely they have communicated and worked closely in the past.
Does it not seem plausible that they are still in contact?

I still do not understand why people do not question who created bitcoin more?
Yes, I think Gavin Andresen knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is but he will never say it to us.
I'd like to think that he knows also, but if he does, and spends this much time publicly saying that he doesn't know who he is, he's setting himself up to look like an untrustworthy liar, not exactly what he would want being kind of the "head" of btc development.
I don't agree. He knows and he wants to protect him, community and technology. Why would he tell us the real ID of Satoshi? It's irrelevant to the Bitcoin technology. We don't gain anything if we know who Satoshi is.
OK, we don't necessarily gain anything knowing who "he" is, but it wouldn't hurt either.
My point is if he does know, and is hiding it, that could cause more harm than good to both his reputation, as well as bitcoin as a whole, and would open up questions as to why it was kept a secret for so long? To be honest, it reminds me too much of how the gvt operates.

The more I think about it, the more likely I think that "satoshi" is not a person but a name given to a group of people, and since it actually isn't one person, there isn't anyone to find.

Who is Gavin Anderson? xD
+1, what do we really know about him. Is it not possible he is has alternative motives in regards to developing the bitcoin infrastructure?
No, you didn't get it. It's Gavin Andresen, not
It would be really strange that the commited developers didn't have a clue of who satoshi is, or had at least some mails from him.

“I am not Satoshi Nakamoto; I have never met him; I have had many e-mail conversations with him,” he said after giving a talk in April. “Nobody knows who he is, I think.”
Quote from Gavin Andresen, aka Gavin Bell. Not sure why he goes by a new name/ alias now.

Gavin Anderson? Who is that guy? 
But seriously, I think most of the devs know who he/she/they is/are. It's just that they don't want the persona behind Satoshi Nakamoto be revealed because that wouldn't even help bitcoin in either way. They want bitcoin to survive without someone being deemed as 'god' because he created the code. There should be no politics involved in the first place, that's why Satoshi left bitcoin for good.

Hahaha, great call. The answer should be a unanimous NO...because no one knows who Gavin Anderson is!

The private keys..... its the private keys we want
Do you think Gavin has knowledge of who or how to reach Satoshi?
I have it on good authority that Satoshi is currently living inside a crawlspace in Gavin's home. Late at night he emerges and they enjoy a couple games of chess with tea, ...and occasionally a man hug. Then he slips back into the woodwork and reads various Indian spiritual texts by candlelight.

Satoshi is obviously someone. That may not be his/her real name. But you cant honestly write it off as no one?
Could it be "satoshi" is a group of people, acting as if they were one person? That way it could never be traced back to one single person? And their anonymity might be better kept by using a full team of people wiping their trail and keeping communications very limited to cetain people (current admins of this forum, gavin, etc?) Then if one trail leads to one of them, they can try to say satoshi isnt them, by showing they used to be in contact with him? Is it that "satoshi" is just a false name usedto throw people off the real creators???

No way, currently no one knows that who is Satoshi and where he is.
He is the most anonymous person I've ever heard of, I doubt that if he is alive or not.

now the important think is not about that.
cause i think there is no one knows about who is Satoshi.
cause the identity has hidden.

it's a fictional person. read above
