Doesnt this mean that somewhere, buried deep in a a database, someone can run a query to see who had the IP address on that day, and assuming it is a private residence there is at least a chance that is SN?

The US Intelligence community knows who Satoshi is. After all, they created it to destabilize competitor currencies. Satoshi is likely a Project Name, not a person. Nobody else could laugh at the idea of wanting to cash in $70 billion.
Can you provide a source on these claims?
Yeah but leaking such data from an ISP would be considered illegal.
Why would that be illegal? Data like this is bought and sold daily.

(Not condoning this, but privacy laws in the US are pretty weak)

Is there some "legal process" (subpoena, etc) that could reveal this?
The spooks know, anyway. They don't even need to ask anybody.
Satoshi Nakamoto went leap and bounds to hide his identity, this probably also included his online footprint.
I am perfectly fine not knowing ever who Satoshi is. I think we need to learn to accept these things.
