Here is an article from Sept. 14, 2012 just three days after the attack. Nakoula had already been identified as Nakoula Basseley Nakoula. According to this article Nakoula created the fictional Sam Bacile and identified him as an Israeli Jew but was claiming him to be someone other than himself.

Was ‘Innocence of Muslims’ Director Also an Informant? 09.14.12
As if to ensure continued fury, Nakoula has said the mysterious Sam Bacile is an Israeli Jew and that the film was financed by $5 million from Jewish backers.
The YouTube movie trailer that set the Mideast ablaze was posted by someone identifying himself as Sam Bacile. The feds need only prove that the mysterious producer is in fact Nakoula, and they can toss him back in jail for four years.

Sam Bacile was similar to other aliases that Nakoula had used.

His many aliases ranged from Ahmad Hamdy to PJ Tobacco to Robert Bacily, which is not so very different from Sam Bacile. The one common denominator with the names was Nakoula’s face in the ATM’s camera when there was a withdrawal from the corresponding account.
In searching his household garbage, postal inspectors found a WAMU gold credit card in the name of Nicola Bacily and a Bank of America platinum check card in the name of Kritbag Difrat.
