My personal take on it is that Bitcoin may actually be harmed if the authorities catch up with Satoshi Nakamoto. I think we all saw the crap that Dorian Nakamoto had to go through when he got fingered as the creator of Bitcoin. They could conceivably wring all sorts of false "confessions" out of him if they are determined enough to discredit Bitcoin and Satoshi Nakamoto's reasoning behind creating Bitcoin.
i disagree.
what you said could have been true back in many years ago when people weren't much familiar with bitcoin and it was early days of it. by then Satoshi was bitcoin so anything wrong with Satoshi could reflect on bitcoin too. but now there is a much bigger developers team and people realized that bitcoin is not centralized to one person or even a group of people to be "harmed" if something goes wrong with them.
