Just woke up to this news, too. Was shocked to read this part of the article:
"Mr. Wright digitally signed messages using cryptographic keys created during the early days of Bitcoins development. The keys are inextricably linked to blocks of bitcoins known to have been created or mined by Satoshi Nakamoto."
..which could strongly prove his relation to, or identity of being Satoshi Nakamoto himself. Dafuq is happening?
