Is it not fairly obvious by now what his game was?
How do most confidence men work, when they are after someone's money? They try and place false clues that lead one to believe that they have lots of money. The point is to 1) put down people's guard that they might be getting preyed upon, and 2) to hold sway over the "mark" by convincing them that if they do what the con says, they will fall into a windfall of money.
He was trying to set up mining operations in Iceland (his BS "supercomputer" credentials, etc.) I am 99.999% sure that he was engaged in convincing someone to invest in it; I don't specifically know who, but the odds are he was selling someone. Now if he left breadcrumbs that he was Nakimoto, to convince them that he covertly had access to his unimaginable pile of bitcoins, would that not increase the comfort level of such an investor?!
