Is it really a witch hunt? People are just fascinated with the enigma that is Satoshi. He's (they've?) done something amazing in many people's eyes but has avoided taking credit for it -- in an arena where people are often seeking credit and fame (financial, if you'd call it that). It reminds me a lot of Isildur1 in the online poker scene a few years ago. This guy played an insane style at the highest stakes, went millionaire to busto more times than I can count on my hand, and completely hid his identity -- all in an industry where people nearly always seek fame. People suspected he was Victor Blom (along with a few others) but I'm not sure if they were more fascinated because of what he did or that he did it while hiding behind an online identity. This situation bears many similarities, so its no surprise people are very interested for no other reason than that he's made an effort to be an enigma.
