Does it REALLY matter at this point?
Look, I don't think Dorian is The One, but if he is, then he's just about what I thought he would be like: A badass. And since there's really no reason to believe its Dorian above anyone else, so long as he doesn't want to reveal anything, for all intents and purposes he's still anonymous. So, really nothing has changed, no matter how you look at it.
Well first of all it matters to
him! His life as he knew it is ruined and he must have feared this day coming!

He feared what exactly? That reporters were going to come to his house for a few days, and he was going to have to say he isn't the satoshi, and then they were going to have to be like "do you have proof?" and then he's going to have to be like "no" and then... yeah? The real satoshi nakamoto is one of the hundreds of people who might be satoshi nakamoto. I don't see any of the other maybe-satoshi-nakamotos running around having such a terrible life. [/quote]
How long before he is subpoenaed and forced to tell the truth
Subpoenaed for what? Coding software? And then what, he comes to court "Hi, my name is Satoshi Nakamoto and I didn't code bitcoin". Then what? "But your name is Satoshi Nakamoto and you know how to code?" Seriously. There is more evidence that Max Keiser is the real Satoshi over this dude.
or risk a long prison sentence?
Once again, for what, and how exactly does one prove this?
That day will indeed be a very sad day for Bitcoin. I suspect that he will have a lot of negative things to say about how Bitcoin has developed and is being used. If that were to happen the authorities (and the world) will use any negative comments from him as an excuse to simply make it illegal.
Because once you release something in the public domain you can say "nvm" and now its illegal. And, because some reason he'd want to do it now, when he has millions of dollars worth of them stored up.
Seriously what you're saying makes negative sense. Whether he is or is not Satoshi doesn't matter, because we won't know whether or not he's Satoshi, and if we dont, then nothing has changed.
