Satoshi pre-mined a million coins before he/she released Bitcoin and the people who go after pre-mined coins completely ignore that fact.
well its actually not a fact.
>_< Damnit
not on the ball today, should have googled it first 
I know he did pre-mine SOME Bitcoins though or am I going to be wrong about that too? 1 million must have been this random figure thrown around :S I know he at least had to mine the genesis block.
