Your line of think makes absolute no sense at all.

Nobody is accusing him of saying he is satoshi. He is deliberately saying that, and that's a crime by itself.

So what crime is he committing, and how do you prove it? Again, the burden of proof is always on the accuser. You don't ask the accused to provide proof that he is innocent to make a suit stick, you produce evidence and the court decides if it has merit. Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

I'm not commenting on the state of our justice system, but the fact of the matter is, no one has been able to do anything about his lies for a reason. But hey, if it's so obvious to you and you are somehow able to make a compelling case, I'm sure the community would be up for a crowdfund.

you cannot pretend to be someone else, it is a crime. If I do an interview on tv saying that I am some other guy , that's a crime everywhere in the civilized world.

Until you prove that he's actually claiming to be someone else, it's your word against his. And again, the justice system presumes innocence (CSW has human rights too, apparently!), so good luck.

He is doing that to manipulate markets and make money, which is another crime.

This might actually stick, but you might need to prove that he's not who he says first.

Just to be clear, I do think he's lying and I would support action against him. I just want to remind people that these go through courts, which require evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to convict crimes. Saying "but he can't sign the keys!" sadly doesn't cut it (because he could just say he lost them, which would be reasonable, and there would be no way to disprove it), and the fact that Satoshi Nakamoto is a fake identity whose owner is completely anonymous makes it all the more complicated.
