I just saw this picture on a news channel on my telegram account, @just news to be precise, and I was like wow, 14year of staying anonymous, it might actually look easy but it's not, it's definitely easier said than done.
Maybe he is dead, you never know. Maybe that is how he has actually been able to stay anonymous for that long without anyone knowing his identity. It is possible that he did not die suddenly and maybe was diagnosed with the terminal of disease and then devoted his life towards creating Bitcoin and passed it on at the point of his death where he knew that he could no longer be in charge. I have watched too many movies, and maybe that is why I am thinking in this way, but there has definitely been benefit in him keeping his identity anonymous.
