DO YOUR RESEARCH GUYS

even theymos had the right instincts right at the start, shame too many people make assumptions rather then researching facts

It seems very likely that either Satoshi's email account in particular or gmx.com in general was compromised, and the email account is now under the control of someone else. Perhaps satoshin@gmx.com expired and then someone else registered it.

satoshi had sole access of the gmx account from 2009 to 2014. but due to inactivity he did not log in to agree to the new terms of service, thus upto march 2014 his account was intact and under his control.

the new terms of service for 2014 of GMX is that after 6 months of inactivity the dormant account can be deleted, where messaged will be archived. allowing for other people to then register the name. simply put. if the bitcoin creator never logged in, to then access the forum to say "i am not dorian". he would still be bound by the old terms of service which would mean that the account wont have been deleted. to then get easily activated 6 months later.

also even when the account has been deleted, the messages have been archived and GMX admits that if someone else reactivates the account they can get the old archived emails back.

now DO YOUR RESEARCH. i wont spoon feed you the proof as you will shout that i produced it. so go find it yourselves as its one google search away and researched by a reputable media outlet. i will give you 1 hint google 'Thomas Plünnecke satoshi'.. then go forth and from that, dig deeper and get second third and forth opinions from other sources.

happy hunting

You seem to suppose that Satoshi logged in to the GMX account in March.

However, why would Satoshi need to log in to GMX if all they want to do is to post a message at P2P foundation?? Huh

They could've logged in to P2P foundation directly. It just doesn't add up.

This rather points to the "two hackers story":

At some time in 2012 or 2013, a hacker bruteforced the GMX account's password reset question (birthday), claimed the GMX account, and then silently kept it, as a valueable asset.
The hacker thought that this asset will rise in value over time, and thus didn't blunder it away too early.

In March 2014, the hacker sees a unique opportunity to estimate the asset's value, i.e. how much credibility a message would have, without raising any suspicion. In the process he logs in to the GMX account as this is needed for P2P foundation's password reset. He unintentionally triggers the 6-months-expiry count-down thereby.
The hacker feels satisfied that so many people believe the message to be legit, and continues to keep onto his assets (GMX & P2P foundation accounts), expecting them to rise in value.

6 months later there comes the second "hacker", who is actually just a stupid kid re-registering the account after expiry, and requesting restoration of "his" old mails from the support staff.
The second "hacker" (the stupid kid) then blunders away his opportunity to make a shitload of money (via shorting and creating panic) by coming up with his cheap "I'll dox Satoshi" story.

I know that this story sounds rather complicated, but it matches all known facts, and seems plausible (at least to me).
