There's a high likelihood that "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a group of people and the pseudonym doesn't belong to one single person.

Plus - if he was ever going to come out from under his bed - it wouldn't be to sign a message to you.

What makes it a high likelihood? I know it's possible that it isn't just one person, but haven't seen any high evidence for it.

Multiple news outlets have done research and all of the potential "Satoshi Nakamoto(s)" were groups of people.

It'd be too difficult for one person to create this - proficiency in networking, programming, security, economics, etc...

And if one person did do it, it would take years.

It seems more likely "Satoshi Nakamoto" is a pseudonym for multiple people.

Which news outlets? He might've been working on Bitcoin for years before he released it. I'd think it'd be harder to keep ahold of all Satoshi's coins if it was a group of people as opposed to one.

Good point. All those old wallets with thousands of coins would be mighty tempting right now.

If it was a group, you're just multiplying the number of people who would become greedy and want their share or to cash out.
