Let's create a fictitious scenario where Satoshi sends a message in a way that can be validated/verified < PGP key > and he notify all of us that he is bankrupt and has no access to his coins.  

If this is verified, would you send bitcoins to Satoshi, like people did with Andreas Antonopoulos?

We have seen people sending tips to Satoshi's known Bitcoin addresses and to date, bitcoin’s maiden address has received 16.7 BTC in tips, worth around $107 600.

Will you send bitcoins and if you do, why?

If you will not send bitcoins. Why?

It would be necessary for everyone to understand that this Bitcoin genesis address has never been added to the blockchain. Actually, this is why it has a zero index.

All donations to this address will remain there forever.

A person can afford to write his address in the history, but given that Bitcoin is anonymous - donation becomes useless.
