I'm talking about on the blockchain from the genesis block... I thought that was clearly explained.
coins from the genesis block are unspendable
no one know where he/she/group of people is/are, he could have dumped everything at 1200 peak, which would explain the huge dump
also the client is open source, you don't need its creator to do some change, but you need consensus for every changes, and a part from 51%, transaction time and tx limit, there are not other big problems
