Satoshi abducted?

[loudog40]

Newb here - just wondering if anyone's suspected foul play in Satoshi's disappearance.  I think most people assume he vanished because he didn't want the spotlight, and a smaller group of people wonder whether he is indeed the pyramid scheme mastermind they've been warned about.  As the creator of a technology so potentially disruptive as Bitcoin I imagine he'd definitely be the target of some ultra-powerful banking syndicate, if you're inclined to believe such things.  Anyone know any of the details surrounding Satoshi's disappearance?

He's only kiddin' like Jason

[lukeh7]

Was he even a real person to start off with? Could just be a fictional name designed to keep the creator out of the spotlight when a name was needed.

They have him locked up in Guantanamo, he getting fingered by Mohammed as we speak.

Wow, getting diddled by a 1400 year old. Sounds... dry.

I don't know anything about him , but I suppose he acquired enough money from premining to transfer his brain into a robot and is now travelling through space at light speed into a time where he rules the universe

Last place he was seen was breaking into Butterfly Labs riding a unicorn.

Aluminum works much better as a mind control deflector.

he was a real screen name.  posted about 300 times to this msg board under the name satoshi.  here is a link to his pgp key maintained by bitcoin.org: http://bitcoin.org/satoshinakamoto.asc

if he ever returns he will sign a message with that key.  i pray he does come soon for the judgement.

Dear Satoshi, if you out there, we need your salvation!

I believe Satoshi is everywhere all the time - in our wallets, all of our transactions, in our thoughts, in our very dreams of BTC!!

Each and every BTC reveals 100 Million facets of the legend they call Satoshi!

[xilin]

I believe he is not a real person.

This.

Persecution followed by prosecution. The powers that be don't like when things like this (Bitcoin) come along.
