On November 3rd and 5th 2013 the ownership of Bitcoin.net and Bitcoins.org changed hands. These are two domains that were registered at the same day as Bitcoin.org with the same anonymous registration service. They changed ownership to Michael Marquardt (aka Theymos) hands.

Bitcoin.net prior whois, current whois

Bitcoins.org prior and current whois match but cannot find a public/free services to show the changes.

These domains appear to have remained "parked" in a manner commonly used by the registrar, up until the ownership changed hands. This means that the DNS did not change hands (historical record indicates the same). All of this indicates that the change of ownership required the original owner use their login credentials at the registrar to initiate the transfer. So either Satoshi handled this himself in November 2013 or he provided the account details to someone before he left his mortal coil.

The holder of those domains has been known for a while to be Sirius (Martti Malmi)

The fact that he sold most of his coins for under $32 back in 2011 suggests pretty strongly to me that he's not Satoshi.

It was 2009 when I was studying computer science at Helsinki University of Technology. Inspired by libertarian ideals, I came up with the idea of a decentralized Internet currency that cannot be controlled by any government or other single entity. I contacted some guy named Satoshi Nakamoto, who had drafted a technical proposal of such a system just a couple months earlier. He called it Bitcoin.

He was removed from the list of project developers on bitcoin.org in June 2011. The same time Satoshi left. He still owns the bitcoin.org and bitcointalk.org domains.
