I'm of the opinion that it's perfectly fine for the author not to name names. While there was a clear message that this VC would never want to work with the "unnamed" name, there are countless examples of people being forced to work together in the future, even after making such claims. Not naming names provides a degree of wiggle room if such a case arises.
I may be offbase here, but I read all the details provided by the author as a sort of trail to be used for an implicit identification. I'm guessing the author is smart enough to know that these details could be used, given all the work displayed for every Satoshi post on the board.
So, I read the post as the author not explicitly naming the investor, but at the same time, providing enough information for someone motivated enough to track them down. It's the mark of a clever investor, having it both ways.
