It's not about that. Paul Le Roux never claimed to be the creator of TrueCrypt, what we have are clues that connect him to working on E4M, then working on SecurStar, porting encryption algorithms from SecurStar to E4M and getting fired due to that. And then a project named TrueCrypt and claiming to be based on E4M started to surface.

I am not expecting Le Roux to be the true creator of TrueCrypt but this seems to be a pretty solid link between Le Roux and TrueCrypt.

Now about Wright, he can't even write a proper blog post with proper working scripts about cryptography...

As already stated I don't believe Wright's claims at all, and I find the whole thing pretty silly as we already have quite a few viable candidates/teams for Satoshi in the public record. I simply stated an interesting observation linking two related technologies and circumstances surrounding them :)
