Adam Back is a larper who humblepretends to not be Satoshi to give off the impression that he might be, when he actually isn't.
Back tries to big note himself extremely hard with "hashcash" which was literally a weekend project - an extremely bad one - and he didn't even know what it was for. Just a toy that someone made over a weekend. Satoshi didn't really have any idea about it and just gave Back a citation to be nice.
Then after Bitcoin got traction, Adam Back tried to essentially rewrite history and spruce up hashcash to make it seem like the precursor to BTC. Which it wasn't. He's constantly humblebragging and trying to fake being humble. He did a revival paper five years later, lol, to rewrite history about hashcash.
In OG Bitcoin socials he is well known as "braggy and obnoxious," only the completely uninitiated would find him compelling or insightful.
Even in his recent clips you can see that he loves implying that he has the skills to make Bitcoin (when in reality he doesn't), he's the same loser as he was before. He's also what I would consider a pseudoscammer, because he only came back after Bitcoin got traction, rewrote his involvement, and then raised money from VCs on that premise. Adam Back is the only guy that I (and others from the OG community) am 100% sure is not Satoshi.
(To be fair to him, it's pretty impressive to have messed around with a "proof of wasted effort" for email spam concept in 1997, based on a concept already created in 1992, see someone found an actual use for an adjacent technology, start publishing larpy papers and websites about it, imply you invented Bitcoin, and raise a bunch of money out of it. Good quality scam.)
Also, hashcash wasn't even the first implementation of proof of work. It just had a name that sounded like a currency, lmao. He never invented the concept, he never popularised it, all he did was spend one weekend making "hashcash" and then having zero use for it. Saying "I invented hashcash" and calling things "an implementation of hashcash" is inherently inaccurate and misleading because hashcash isn't the core concept (which he didn't invent anyway), hashcash is just an implementation of precursor concepts (b-money by Wei Dai for instance is a closer precursor to Bitcoin, although probably created independently).
He's probably enjoying the new wave of attention, but Adam Back is not Satoshi. As for who Satoshi actually is, there's a good candidate (who has already been discussed plenty, most people know the name) but he lives a normal life, has a family, and doesn't have a ton of mainstream publicity, so it's respectful to leave him out of things and not broadcast his identity. He's probably happy that Back loves doing his Satoshi-not-Satoshi victory tours.

Sir Issac Newton, Alexander Flemming and James Watt may all have to move aside to make way for another name in the pantheon of Great British inventors: Adam Black.
According to an exhaustive investigation published by the New York Times today, the mystery of who created Bitcoin appears to have been solved. All the signs point to a relatively obscure British computer programmer. If it turns out to be true, Britain should be proud of giving the world its digital currency.
