... Then there is his/her main address, which has the $900+k you mentioned. ...
There is no such "main" address. All the bitcoins thought to be owned by satoshi are still held by the addresses in the coinbase transactions of the blocks that he mined. That means that there are 10 - 20 thousand addresses thought to be controlled by satoshi.
The addresses in question are known (that's where the estimates comes from) and I suppose there are people watching them.
