Yeah, why don't you go and bodyguard him. You owe the man your existance.

Yeah he will need bodyguards. But he won't use his bitcoin because that will blow his cover for sure. So it's one of those go to the grave with your secrets kind of situations.

I feel really bad for Satoshi. He seems like a decent guy and obviously brilliant.

[dreamspark]

There are a lot of people with a lot more money than him who seem to be able to live without constant fear!

The real question is, how can we help the poor guy if its not him?

Did I  miss a news story?  Whom are we talking about here?

After you find something worth living for, sometimes the next step is to find something worth dying for.

Satoshi is Satoshi.

People can probably help him by staying out of his life.  However, if he wants that, he would have to publicly give away most of his bitcoins to charity or etc.

Unfortunately he lives in CA. That is going to make body guarding him difficult. You can't even carry a gun in that backwards state. A law not obeyed by criminals.
Or maybe he does not need help? We don't actually know if Satoshi owns any bitcoins, though it seems likely.

He's a 64 years old guy, I doubt he care's about body guards.

So, a quick google search later, we get....

If Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto is in fact the man behind the original code, then he's not who I thought it was.  There is at least one other person who had the time, skills, and motivation to have done it, and I don't see any specifically crypto background for this guy.  OTOH, being both the son of a Buddhist priest and someone who's worked in the defense industry would explain certain aspects of our "Satoshi's" personality.  Karma's a bitch, as they say.

I can't claim that it isn't him, but I sure as heck wouldn't take it at face value that he is, either.  

The good news is that our Satoshi hasn't done anything overtly asshole with his money or power, and he's stayed out of the public eye, so the odds of a random assassin going after this Satoshi are actually fairly slim.

The man has the private keys to bitcoins worth hundreds of millions of dollars.  He is absolutely at risk.

[HorseCoin]

he's a libertarian.  so he don't need help

Don't ask what we can do for Satoshi,
Ask Satoshi what he can do for the goxxed, zhoutonged and flexcoined

[cr1776]

Unfortunately that only works if the bad guys accept the same "only use force in response" concept.  ;-)

[pozmu]

I hope that Newseek gave him enough time to hide somewhere...
His whole family would need protection.

True.  He's at risk from thieves and extortionists, certainly.  Probably not assassins.

I'll answer you...how could you think he could do anything with it?

[bitpop]

He has guns and knows a lot about them

Seems like a easy target for a $400M theft? If he does hold them.
