He is Satoshi, but he is not THE Satoshi.
There are no evidences and this article is bulling some old dude after a stroke.

Exactly, with fiat or gold you would physically need to move the money you robbed which is a lot more difficult when we talk about 400 million dollars, or about 9 metric tonnes of gold.
Even compared to stealing paper stocks/bonds it's not the same. A low net worth millionaire could pay someone who is poor in russia to come over and get the keys and then kill himself. The poor guy sends the bitcoin to an address before committing suicide.
What just happened? Well now the poor guys family get some money and the millionaire is now a potential billionaire. This original millionaire could have even threatened the poor guys family.
Anyway, there is no need to escape the country or state with a ton of paper bonds. It's all gone in seconds.
Also it's better than stealing money via wire transfer. A lot of rich people (even gates) don't have $400,000,000 in cash waiting for a long drawn out potentially reversible wire transfer.
I am not exaggerating, this guy is in for some crazy trouble. And if Bitcoin keeps going up this location will become a prime target for all criminal masterminds.
Seems like a easy target for a $400M theft? If he does hold them.
People get robbed for a fraction of that money... sometimes even for hundred bucksBeyond trouble.
If true he might have the highest concentration of easy to access/steal wealth on the planet.
Where else can you kidnap someone and force them to reveal a passcode to move $400,000,000 across the world?
There are no other targets for such a easy take that cannot be reversed. This is insane.

Or maybe he does not need help? We don't actually know if Satoshi owns any bitcoins, though it seems likely.

He has guns and knows a lot about them
If that really is Satoshi, how can we help him?
Won't he need bodyguards asap?
Don't ask what we can do for Satoshi,Won't he need bodyguards asap?
Ask Satoshi what he can do for the goxxed, zhoutonged and flexcoined
The man has the private keys to bitcoins worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He is absolutely at risk.
True. He's at risk from thieves and extortionists, certainly. Probably not assassins.
I hope that Newseek gave him enough time to hide somewhere...
His whole family would need protection.
His whole family would need protection.
he's a libertarian. so he don't need help 
Unfortunately that only works if the bad guys accept the same "only use force in response" concept. ;-)

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.

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

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.
If that really is Satoshi, how can we help him?
Did I miss a news story? Whom are we talking about here?
Satoshi is Satoshi.
