Is this Satoshi, and if so, what does his 1M btc mean for bitcoin's price?

The police are very quick to act when the smell of money is in the air, it seems..

Are we talking about police or women?

This makes me sick actually. And it is also exactly the reason why Satoshi is hiding. This makes it look like he is a terrorist.
Let's hope for him he just got a little bit crazy and convinced himself he was satoshi somehow.

[Amph]

it sounds like he want to ride the satoshi name, just to be famous, and that's it, i don't care what he said or what he is

as long as he don't sign the address of satoshi, he can not convince anyone here besides those journalist

he is a terrorist. i can prove it (quote from guardian article):

The house was the only one on the street with a rubbish bin still outside, six days after the weekly Thursday collection

[Fanpant]

Like Dorian, this guy is the real deal 

Dorian is more like Satoshi. I do not think Satoshi would own many business and still have time to create bitcoin. Bitcoin needs dedication.

Satoshi or not poor guy!Already wrecked by police!This is definitely why Satoshi will have to stay hidden as long as possible.
This world does not love geniuses because its made by small minds who suck life from them.
Never show yourself SN!

Don't jump to conclusion, maybe he asked for their protection.

[Loimu]

Don't jump to conclusion, maybe he asked for their protection.

What makes you think so? Not likely at all from my perspective. It also reads this on the article;

The Australian Federal police said in a statement that the raids were not related to the bitcoin claims. “The AFP can confirm it has conducted search warrants to assist the Australian Taxation Office at a residence in Gordon and a business premises in Ryde, Sydney. This matter is unrelated to recent media reporting regarding the digital currency bitcoin.”

Boldings are mine. If Wright would have indeed asked this then it sounds like it does relate to the recent claims. Also what the taxation office would have anything to do with it?

I don't believe to everything I read, I read between the lines. It would be really a big coincidence that police is at his door exactly at this time because of tax report or something other than news that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

[Mickeyb]

If this guy really is Satoshi, would his life be in danger? I'm sure a lot of banksters would at least want him dead for creating bitcoin.

Of course his life would be in danger, that's why I don't believe in these stories! This guy is way to smart to be found this easy. All these stories are just like Dorian Nakamoto story to me.

Also I don't cease to be surprised on the levels of rumors about Satoshi. This is like becoming a world's biggest mystery, who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

[nakaone]

Well, Satoshi's had 4/5 years off to work himself up into a batty egomaniac. Stranger things have happened. Perhaps this fella will emerge at a conference in a full on Satoshi supersuit and sign a message from the genesis block while fireworks explodes from his arse.

lmfao

visualizing this made me fell out of my chair.

Right, because Bitcoin is wired to self-destruct in the event Satoshi's heart stops.

That's true!
Only a signed address is a 100% proof.Or he moves a very tiny amount of the old coins.
However this is huge marketing imo.You couldn't get any PR better than that.And the price keeps rising!

The story at gizmodo:
http://gizmodo.com/this-australian-says-he-and-his-dead-friend-invented-bi-1746958692
What I understood from it is that there were several people working on bitcoin, but the lead was Dave Kleiman (aka Satoshi Nakamoto),
and both he and Craig Steven Wright mined between 1 and 2 million bitcoins. Since Dave Kleiman died in 2013, his brother Ira Kleiman
is in possession of the wallets(s). Something to keep in mind, about the possible fate of bitcoin hoarders, quoting from the article:

Kleiman was confined to a wheelchair after a motorcycle accident in 1995, and became a reclusive computer forensics obsessive thereafter. He died broke and in squalor, after suffering from infected bedsores. His body was found decomposing and surrounded by empty alcohol bottles and a loaded handgun. Bloody feces was tracked along the floor, and a bullet hole was found in his mattress, though no spent shell casings were found on the scene. But documents shared with Gizmodo suggest that Kleiman may have possessed a Bitcoin trust worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and seemed to be deeply involved with the currency and Wright’s plans.

[Mervyn_Pumpkinhead]

I have to say, that the guy certainly looks like someone, who would use the blockchain technology to create a get rich quick scheme that is based on artificial scarcity.

[Paashaas]

I hope like last time that the real Satoshi will come online and tell the world that he is not Craig Wrights....

"You will never catch me'' 

[Ibian]

This guy is not Satoshi until he cryptographically proves it. Back off already.

[Cassius]

The Craig Wright thing doesn't add up. There's supposed to be a tx of 1.1m BTC. Where is it on the blockchain and why are Satoshi's coins still where they always were?

https://bitscan.com/articles/something-about-the-new-satoshi-isnt-wright

I'm trying to find another explanation and the only ones I can come up with are
1) Someone else has 1m BTC
2) The doc is fake

[Cassius]

No, because unless you provably delete your own copy, they're not transferred at all.
