Bitcoin Theft of $90,000 is a Real Whodunnit

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Does that sound like a person who wants to sell his company? Zhou was not only the Bitcoin president and inventor, but also its sole employee.

It sounds wrong. Satoshi is the inventor and there is no bitcoin company. Maybe he means a bitcoin related president and entrepreneur.
