"Satoshi Nakamoto was the pseudonymous person or group of people who designed and created the original bitcoin protocol and launched the bitcoin network." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin#Satoshi_Nakamoto

-- I think that pretty much sums it up ... likely one or more people who wanted to remain anonymous.



This is only speculation as the source cited for this info on wikipedia is a wired article which is not very good for factual information.
