They always make mention of the villain in the season prior to the big reveal. I think Danny isn't in this season simply because Jeff didn't want to write him in. Also, aside from Danny being good with computers and the benefactor using computer code - I see no evidence.

Agreed. It's highly unlikely, it's just fun to speculate. I mean...Motive is an incredibly important factor, and what would his be? Unless we find out one or both of his parents were at the station when there was the shoot out, or the hospital during Stiles' murder spree, and died.

Also, to the OP, Jeff putting that line in about him knowing the supernatural could've simply been a bit of fanservice. Danny is a fan favorite, and tons of people want him to be brought in to the fold more. If he knew then that Keahu didn't want to come back to the show, it might have been just...a 'happy' medium that he could throw at the fans to ease the absence. Or something.
