Hal Finney was Satoshi Nakamoto

Sorry but Hal was not satoshi. its well known that Hal knew about bitcoin along with others before it was released. but not because he was satoshi, but instead because satoshi was talking about his idea before the launch.
there are many publicly released documents showing satoshi talking to many people before bitcoin went live.
research: bitcoin cypherpunks

How do you know it is not Hal? How would Hal even know to be the first transaction recipient? Hal was working on something like his for years and he finally cracked it..

Imho he was one of the major contributors to the code very early but yeah, Hal wasn't Satoshi.
