I know both Zooku and Nick and agree with you. I wouldn't expect either to create a pseudonym to publish something like bitcoin, especially after things they've made public before. Maybe it's a corporate pseudonym. I should write a paper asserting it was Tim May. Tim has sadly passed, but maybe it would motivate the kids to dig up some of his more insightful usenet posts. And it's somewhat plausible. But... Zooku and Nick were both at that meeting in 2001? 2000? and Zooku was definitely the most visibly excited about a post-chaum eCash world.
