I think the question remains. How he get access to the Satoshi's email account?

have you read this thread? its pretty much established that satoshis email password reset question was his birthday which was brute forced.

So is anyone in the USA going to step up to the plate and phone this into the police? The BTC community went SJW crazy last time someone tried to expose Satoshi, we should now and again in the future especially when its a dumb kid. At least it was only a dumb kid, who didnt truly appreciate what he could of done to BTC, as someone posted earlier they could of easily started rumours that they were about to dump their million coins and sent the market into a panic

People like this hacker bother me so much. He had an opportunity to make millions upon millions of dollars by taking a highly leveraged short against BTC with either his own money (if he has money) or someone else's money. Yet, instead he plays a few pranks and begs for 25 BTC. Then, he uses his real usernames for everything and basically doxes himself.

There's nothing wrong with not doing anything "bad" with information. If I had access to the email account, I'm sure I would have just read through the emails out of curiosity and then let the account rest without using it. However, if you're going to make something of it, do it right instead of trying to make a few pennies.

I can give the kid a break if he's 14 or younger. That's young enough that he may not have realized the potential of what he had. Otherwise, just a really stupid guy who has just made a lot of trouble for himself with virtually no financial reward.
