On November 3rd and 5th 2013 the ownership of Bitcoin.net and Bitcoins.org changed hands. These are two domains that were registered at the same day as Bitcoin.org with the same anonymous registration service. They changed ownership to Michael Marquardt (aka Theymos) hands.

Bitcoin.net prior whois, current whois

Bitcoins.org prior and current whois match but cannot find a public/free services to show the changes.

These domains appear to have remained "parked" in a manner commonly used by the registrar, up until the ownership changed hands. This means that the DNS did not change hands (historical record indicates the same). All of this indicates that the change of ownership required the original owner use their login credentials at the registrar to initiate the transfer. So either Satoshi handled this himself in November 2013 or he provided the account details to someone before he left his mortal coil.
