there are way too many stories out there about satoshi. Personally i believe that he died, otherwise he was bound to show himself atleast once in the last couple years,
maybe even log into his forum account to show that he exists.can't because theymos locked it. he'll have to PM theymos with PGP message to get it back.
and yes, there's too many stories about satoshi and many more will pop out once bitcoin is more well known. and only satoshi can stop it.
