Actually that really might be the case.

You think this guy is nuts for distrusting satoshi.

Let's go backwards.

How can you trust somebody (i mean satoshi) that you haven't talked to for years and possibly never? He haven't logged in for years and got his account hacked... (i know his account is locked now)

You have almost zero information about satoshi other than his technical posts about bitcoin.

Most people put him in their trust lists as a sign of respect, I get it. Other than that, it is completely pointless.

Long story short, it is not a big deal. trust and trust lists are not moderated. I am actually surprised nobody haven't tried this before considering that there also many bitcoin haters around.
