I think that the precedent of such a fork would completely destroy the trust in Bitcoin itself. Such a suggestion goes against the very nature of bitcoin. It is a permanent ledger of all prior transactions. Even if those coins did eventually move, the market would absorb them and those coins are already counted in the circulating supply calculations regardless. He mined them and had a fair launch...you could have learned about Bitcoin at an earlier period of time and mined a huge amount of coins yourself if you had done your homework. Bitcoin is a global free market that is designed to be immune to any central interference.

Such a fork would mean Bitcoin is no longer decentralized.
