I can't believe the guy published under his realname

Maybe he didn't think it would take off like that, back then?

Well he's got the funds to protect himself, if he is Satoshi  Cheesy

I think that is what everyone around here is getting in such a fizz about, denying it, calling the story fake, and then writing self-reassuring stories of how Bitcoin would bounce right back up even if Satoshi were to dump his stash. etc etc.

Now that his anonymity is gone, he may now be forced or pressurised to draw upon his BTC. Bitcoiners don't want cold storage Bitcoin going to market in search of FIAT, they want FIAT going to market in search of hoarded Bitcoin.

I agree, but to me the bigger concern is that the media begins to dive into the mysterious "creator" story. I suspect we are to see more attempts to get the full story. It will have to break at some point and negative portrayals to an already blemished crypto-currency will only decrease the valuation.
