Len's connection to Hal Finney, the first recipient of a Bitcoin transaction and a hell of a cryptographer in his own right, is quite the breadcrumb.

It's absolutely a breadcrumb, but if you follow the crumbs you'll realize it likely is neither Sassaman nor Finney.

Sassaman was probably Satoshi. He and Finney worked together at PGP.

I disagree. I don't think anyone has any justification to feel remotely confident in any particular Satoshi suspect, and Sassaman is no exception.
