What's the reason for raiding his private space? They're looking for more bitcoins to sell?
Even if he's Satoshi (Which I highly doubt), they have no right to invade into his house. He did nothing wrong.

Related to tax evasion and fraud with public granted funds to his businesses, I read somewhere.
the timming after he has had a very public piece published is highly embaressing
he should sue in my opinion,
I don't think the police spends the night looking at bitcoin related articles, this operation had to be scheduled at least a few days ago.
And they may had found what they were looking for, I assume, evidence of a crime...

Yay. I'm in Australia. Just sit back and relax, and watch our economy suddenly spike up the equivalent of 1 million bitcoins xD
But seriously, this guy is a real joke.

The police refused to give a reason for the raid on his rented house, but said to ask the Australian Tax Office. He had a giant computer system there that he installed a three-phase power system for, so it must be a monster. The police who raided his office wore shirts with "Computer Forensics" on them, so they were after the computer equipment data
I'm only guessing, but Bitcoins are subject to capital gains tax in Australia, and if he didn't declare them all the Australian Tax Office could instigate a raid. In some countries the tax man can have more power than the police in cases involving millions. Before the police raid they usually knock on the door, the tax man just orders it broken down.

Locksmiths broke open the door of the property, in a suburb on Sydney's north shore. When asked what they were doing, one officer told a Reuters reporter they were "clearing the house".
A reporter who approached an office listed as the location of two of Wright's registered businesses, DeMorgan Ltd and Panopticrypt Pty Ltd, in another Sydney suburb, was turned away by police with one officer saying: "There's an operation going on at the moment, I can't answer any questions." Several police officers could be seen speaking with workers inside

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a statement that the officers' "presence at Mr. Wright's property is not associated with the media reporting overnight about bitcoins".
The AFP referred all inquiries about the raids to the Australian Tax Office, which said it could not comment on "any individual's or entity's tax affairs" due to legal confidentiality.

At Wright's rented home, a modest brick house in the leafy middle class suburb of Gordon, three police workers wearing white gloves could be seen searching the garage, which contained gym equipment.
A man who identified himself as the owner of the house, Garry Hayres, told Reuters that Wright and his family had lived there for a year, and were due to move out on Dec. 22 to move to Britain.
Hayres said that Wright had a "substantial computer system set-up" and had attached a "three-phase" power system to the back of the house for extra power.
Police personnel at Wright's office in nearby Ryde wore shirts tagged "Computer Forensics".

Definately a very strange event the timing is bizarre
i will call the NSW police commisioner and ask for an explanation,
id also go so far as to ask the Prime Minister to sack him over this
it seems so obvious they wanted coin,

The problem is even if he is NOT satoshi...by the time the press gets done with this and banks saying see open crypto is dangerous..and/if/when he actually is dodging taxes
we are screwed as far as press etc is concerned...lots of fud/panic and such already on this 'speculation'
now if he IS satoshi and did play tax games with other early adopter coins...then with fees and penalties they could go after him for is 1 million btc and auction them off
anyway stuff like that would mean that 'banks closed crypto' would win...fees would stay the same and they would not be worth billions anymore but trillions
FML this is gonna such bad and drag on like GOX for a frigging year imho and we probably will find out he was not satoshi etc..but man all that drama will sure make $$$ for press FUD

of course this story will be pumped though the media in the next 2 weeks. but there is no bad press for bitcoin - it is always free advertising
Probably will do the same

It's not related to his involvement with bitcoin. What a coincidence that the raid happens within hours of the news article. They are definitely after that private key with the huge stash of bitcoin
I don't think the police can find the private key if he is Satoshi. Satoshi would hide his keys properly. Satoshi would not doge tax.

i dont think there will be a big negative effect.

At least Dorian didn't get raided! I would like to see all of the notOshis get together for a party one day.
