Put yourself in his/her shoes... you have one of the biggest treasures in the world and you invented the technology that can disrupt HUGE organizations.

Will you touch those coins?

I know I will not, until I can find a way to MIX it, in a way that will not be traceable. {None of the methods today, gives total anonymity}

I still think, he/she lost the private key, and are scared that the world would find out. {You would really look like a fool, if you lost 1M bitcoins}

It can happen to anyone.. just ask the guy, who dumped all that coins with his old Harddrive.

Those coins was worth much less, when he got that... so he/she might have not worried too much about securing it. Sad

Satoshi is dead! Ok He wants to be Anonymous! What's the reason behind going offline forever? I don't see any genuine reason! Hundreds of thousands of people die everyday, cant satoshi be one of them?

Who knows what really happened? If he/she died, how are we to know? Also, how can we differ a normal address from Satoshi's? An address with some early transactions could be a possibility, but the fact remains that he/she could not be alone in mining during those times. He/she could've had his/her friends know about bitcoin back in the days and those people could've mined some coins out of curiosity or help for their friend. There are A LOT of possibilities and probabilities as to what really happened to Satoshi. The only way we can be sure of who he/she is is that someone would stand in the hot seat, prove that he/she is in fact the genius behind bitcoin then problem solved (well it isn't really a problem in the first place).

Yes we don't know if he still exists but why didn't he even come online to tell the world that his email got hacked and don't trust any emails from that account?
