Conspiracy theories about Satoshi Nakamoto

Ryan Broderick has a BuzzFeed article about Bitcoin's maybe-inventor:

Newsweek reported recently that it had found the mysterious founder of Bitcoin living in Temple City, California. But, in a two-hour interview with The Associated Press, Satoshi Nakamoto denied any involvement with Bitcoin. 

What’s the truth? The internet has many theories:
1. Satoshi Nakamoto is an actor who was hired by Newsweek to help relaunch its printed magazine.
2. The media frenzy around Satoshi helped the CEO of the Bitcoin exchange MtGox steal 180,000 bitcoins.
3. The cop was in on it because he knew Satoshi Nakamoto’s real name.
4. The whole thing was a pretty perfect way to discredit the Bitcoin community.
5. Satoshi Nakamoto really is the inventor of Bitcoin and he's just messing with everyone because he’s either…
6. An older mentally unbalanced shut-in, or he’s covering up the fact he might have invented Bitcoin for the CIA or the FBI.
7. Because he might have developed Bitcoins under a government contract.
8. If Satoshi Nakamoto really is the inventor of Bitcoin, he might have been asking for a “free lunch” because it’s an economic code phrase.
9. But it also might not be.
