TL;DR Summary

New analysis suggests that Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney cannot be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. Evidence has emerged showing that Finney was participating in a 10-mile race at the same time that Satoshi was responding to emails and transacting on Bitcoin. Additionally, on-chain data and Finney's health issues further cast doubt on the theory. While there are objections to the evidence, the analysis argues that Bitcoin's creation came from a single developer. Hal Finney, who passed away in 2014, denied being Satoshi until his death.
