This burnout happened a lot faster than I expected. From stem to stern, it's only been about four days?

He put together an elaborate media affair designed to coincide with Consensus 2016, using NDAs for media outlets, Andresen and Matonis, to act as information embargoes. Posted a confusing revelation blog post that included a terrible tutorial on how to sign a message with a Bitcoin block private key (in a post that at first seemed to imply he was going to reveal his ability to do so). He then promised to move coins...

Finally, he posts an angry apology citing that people have started rumors about him that are false -- and that some of them he has proven false (without citing which rumors or how he addressed them) -- and withdraws suddenly.

He did a lot of groundwork for such a rapid flameout.

It is actually about 3 days! (even faster as information was released on 2nd and it is now the 5th)
It may have been a plan to get more people to use Bitcoin if they know more about it.
Also, his post in anger was clearly not in anger and was clearly well staged as it was split into four uniformed paragraphs of his fairly bleak website. Also, considering I found that he posts this less than 6 months since his house and business preesis was raided for (tax checks), how well it coincided with a paper that was released by two private investigators who traced the Bitcoin network back to him.
