> It's incredibly dangerous of these "journalists". Putting targets on people's back [...] The actual leading candidate is [named other individual/family target]

That person is already dead, and already widely discussed (including here on HN a few days ago) as a candidate.
The person being dead just means their surviving family and heirs are the target instead. It's irresponsible to finger anyone as Satoshi.
