What happen to bitcoin builder?

[JamesBorn]

According to bitcoin history; The first wallet program, simply named Bitcoin, and sometimes referred to as the Satoshi client, was released in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto as open-source software. In version 0.5 the client moved from the wxWidgets user interface toolkit to Qt, and the whole bundle was referred to as Bitcoin-Qt. This in many ways bitcoin became popular across the globe but never anyone was able to see the face of the builder how he or she looks like.

Sometimes I wonder if America has no technology that can trace the existence of Satoshi and friends or give us a clue what warrant this incredible ideology of building digital currency assets like bitcoin that has stirred different analysis of possible new money system. But the history of bitcoin is not complete. Is the bitcoin builder dead or alive? Or what really happen?

Until now no one knows who Satoshi Nakamoto is, even on Wikipedia there are several people who claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto but until now the truth has not been proven.

Why?
Why trace satoshi?
Why you want to know if he's dead or alive?

What difference does it make?

He didn't want to tell anyone who he is a decade ago and obviously still doesn't want to (assuming he's alive and kickin'),
can't you respect that?

No body knows the true identity of Satoshi Nakomoto and for some reasons, this person or group of persons has decided to stay anonymous. To me, I feel like they actually understood the risk of creating some thing that could influence political and government power and work on its own.
  If the real creators had been identified the maybe they would have been facing the governments now. And we could maybe have lost Bitcoin to the government. I think some good threads has already been made for this topic, you might want to check them out for better understanding.

Satoshi created a anonymous currency which prefers privacy and Satoshi himself don't want to get exposure so why trace him down! What logic behind your opinion?
Satoshi's true identity is unknown, even not a single person can not claim or prove that he is satoshi.

The story is complete if you ask me, I think we sometimes overrate the relevance of who is Satoshi over the possibilities of bitcoin. It’s no longer surprising to see people so interested in uncovering the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, whether Satoshi is one person or a group of individuals remains a mystery. I believe Satoshi’s identity should be protected by the bitcoin community because it will be bad for bitcoin if the government can put a face to the name Satoshi Nakamoto.

Should we really be concerned about Satoshi's way about? Bitcoin technology was built for the purpose of taking away financial control from the hands of financial elites and putting it in the hands of ordinary people like you and i in a decentralized manner. Bitcoin is decentralized and works so efficiently that even if Satoshi is alive and living somewhere in the world, he doesn't need to show his face for the technology to keep existing. If the federal government can even find out who Satoshi is, I think that's going to be bad news, because they would want to be in control and thereby want to make it centralized. Just know that Satoshi built Bitcoin, but forget about if he is alive or not; his anonymity may even be the reason why Bitcoin is still the way it is today. No regulations, no terms, no policies...

Actually, OP is curious if USA has means to track Satoshi or not. And it is really a valid concern, because we know US has been able to track and spy many influent people and authorities from foreigner countries, besides people from their own country. Would it be so hard to track Satoshi, that even the mightiest nation in the world couldn't achieve doing this? Would Satoshi be more efficient in protecting his ID and localization than the specialists of intelligence services from countries which have been spied by US?

Put it this way.. america pretends it has great tech that can spoke an incoming missile/nuke
yet... they cant even find a plane when the transponder is switched off

turn ur phone off your cars gps off. they cant find you

they do not have good systems instead they rely on systems reporting to them, and if those systems dont report or give info to them they wont know

The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, remains a mystery to this day. While some have claimed to be Satoshi, none have been able to provide concrete evidence to support their claims. It is also possible that Satoshi is a group of people, rather than a single individual. Regardless of who Satoshi is or was, the impact of their creation has been significant, as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have transformed the way we think about and use money.

What makes you think the FBI would inform anybody, if they had Satoshi in their blue zone? Although, no clue of him anywhere, because if he's been held hostage by any Governmental platform, we would have been seeing some changes in the network, because Satoshi is the creator he'll also know a way to jeopardize the network in some ways, not completely, if apprehended to do so. I think of Satoshi as a man who settled down as a teacher in a nursery school living his best life and engaging with nature. He is not interested in the wealth he's made and also his vision is yet to be completed; mining all the bitcoins. I don't think he makes use of the computer and on the second flip he could be very old and resting. No need to bother about him, what matters is that the blockchain network is moving without him being present. Just like the founder of cars, he doesn't need to be here to guide mechanics on how to fix cars.
