Peter Todd made a post on BitcoinTalk, shortly before Satoshi disappeared, seeming to complete Satoshi's thoughts from an earlier post.
Greg Maxwell made a really good point this morning regarding that:
"Also, at the time petertodd's account was named 'retep' and didn't have any immediately obvious connection to his identity. If there had been a slipup he could have just abandoned the account and certainly not later had it renamed to his legal name!" -https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41783503#41784045
A chat leak in which Peter Todd allegedly claims to "know more about sacrificing Bitcoin than anyone else", or something to that effect. The implication is that if he's Satoshi and he burned his keys, he'd know more than anyone else about sacrificing Bitcoin.
Utter nonsense. I was just talking about proof-of-sacrifice, a cryptographic technique used in things like Joinmarket: https://github.com/JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver/blob/master/docs/fidelity-bonds.md
Satoshi's posting history allegedly follows a school-year type pattern, more active during the summer and less active during school semesters. Peter Todd would have been in school during those years.
That sure narrows it down to what... 1 billion people? :D

Personally, I think it was reckless to make claims about a living person being Satoshi without concrete evidence. No one seems to take the assertion seriously but if people did it could be dangerous for you.
Some real hack journalism in my opinion.

Was coming here to make the same point.
It is very reckless and irresponsible.
Take care @petertodd
