1) maybe it was an accident, we are all human after all, satoshi wasn't a god, it can happen
2) this will only reinforces the first point
3) i don't think he is talking about aan altcoin, most likely completely different than bitcoin, not based on blockchain or something, otherwise it would be stupid for him to build a pure clone...

1) No. Satoshi has so many addresses which most likely extend over several wallets. Losing 1 or two is acceptable, losing all of them isn't.
Besides, who does not have a backup of their encrypted wallet somewhere?
2) 3) Satoshi claimed that he is moving onto different projects when he contacted Gavin the last time. This is only natural.
However, I doubt that he is sticking around and wasting his time on some altcoin.
3) Do you think these other projects would have anything to do with Crypto currencies? Did Gavin post proof of this or was that just something he said? I have read most of his postings on this forum, and I did not get a negative vibe from it.
Something about this, make the hair at the back of my head go all prickly. hmf
