I cannot imagine that this is Satoshis account.

Maybe this account was created by his E-Mail hacker

No, Satoshi did not join Github 2 days ago. In fact, Satoshi does not have a Github account (at least associated with the name Satoshi Nakamoto) and he never used Github. The move to Github happened after Satoshi left.

This account appears to have falsely taken attribution for some of Satoshi's commits. This occurs because any Github account can add any email that they want to the Github account and Github will show any commits with that email as belonging to that account, even if the email is unverified. We normally keep the emails of Satoshi, sirius, and laszloh under this account: https://github.com/non-github-bitcoin. However I didn't notice that the satoshin@gmx.com email was used before in the commit history, so someone has claimed that as theirs with a different Github account. I'm currently talking to Github about this and hopefully it will be resolved soon.

It's not.

You are correct.

Already explained here:

I think Satoshi's appearance on GitHub can be fake, bad guys always deliberately pretend to Satoshi for themselves, you should be careful about this.

There've now been so many 'second comings' that even if the real Satoshi decided to roll back into action, he's going to have some work to do to prove who he is and there's never been the slightest hint since his disappearance of him coming back despite all the attempted deceptions since.

Obviously the only way to prove it is to move coins from the right addresses or use his PGP key, but even then all that proves is that the person doing it controls Satoshi's keys. It's probably too far gone now and he'd more than likely approve of that.

Perhaps, someone pretended to be Satoshi for his benefit, because he had been hiding for so long, no one knew anything about him, maybe he already dead.

There are several possible explanations for these actions :

1. Someone is messing around and creating more confusion about Satoshi's real identification by linking this information together. Some stupid journalist will make this connection and claim that they found Satoshi Nakamoto again.  ::)

2. Someone tried to fool people into believing that he/she is the real Satoshi and that Satoshi is still around.  ::)

3. Someone is looking for some media attention.  ::)  <CW>

Fortunately a lot of the people in the community are not fools and they know the difference between the real Satoshi and the fakeSatoshi and what proof is necessary to prove his real identity.  ;)
