It just doesn't make sense why he would reveal himself now.
He was unknown all this time and all of a sudden wants to make a presence? Seems like a guy that just wants attention.

Did they say how Kleiman died anywhere? There will be new interest in this story, IF it was due to unnatural causes. The 1 Million bitcoin paycheck in 2020 would be a big enough incentive for people to do crazy stuff.
Wired just opened up a can of worms with this find, and he most probably has a big stash of coins apart from the 1.1 million, if he has been mining with the super computer for a while. Imagine that, Satoshi not going the ASIC route and still mining with a super computer.
In a way, I want this to be him, because this uncertainty created a whole lot of fear and conspiracy theory, keeping some countries for example Estonia in two minds about the acceptance of Bitcoin. ^hmf^

I dont think he is. Satoshi would care lot better to stay anonymous and this dude is just trying to get as much attention as he can get.
Or he's jumping on a grenade to protect The Creator.
Szabo and Craig have both recently gone from invisible to high profile. That's one way to try and stay alive when in the Eye of Sauron.
Pray For Satoshi.
He wanted to be 'Oshi so bad. Or someone wanted him to be. All he did was SWAT himself. Probably did it for the lulz.

Classic bait and switch. 'Oshi is among us. Watching . . . waiting . . .

Satoshi Signed PGP, or GTFO.
Did Satoshi ever sign anything with his PGP key? I heard he never signed anything, and someone said it's useless unless he did. However, I don't understand PGP too well. Did Satoshi ever post his public PGP key anywhere?I know he could sign a message from an early Bitcoin address if his PGP key is useless, but I'm curious whether it is or not.
Yes, he would need to sign a message from a few (more than one, the better, to prove the signer isn't just an early miner)
of his early mining bitcoin addresses. That would be very possible.
In relation to his PGP Key, many have said he had no such key, but there is this record according to bitcoin.org github:
https://github.com/bitcoin-dot-org/bitcoin.org/commit/19e0c74df2162d4510db5df9e50d5ac53b38c498
An alternative would be to have him sign a message with an address in the coinbase transactions in any of the first couple of blocks.
Edit:
That link seems to be broken, do you know where it is elsewhere?
I want to see if the two keys match or are two different keys for Satoshi.
S and N are capital, fixed above.I want to see if the two keys match or are two different keys for Satoshi.
Incorrect, he signed a transaction to Hal Finney, which is as far as I know the only recorded time.
The Wired article was interesting and sometimes almost convincing.
If he is a fake, then the real Satoshi is glad to have some fool grab a bunch of attention.

Well there is Dave Kleiman, the guy who died, it's possible he was the driving force even though plenty about his final circumstances doesn't add up either.
An obsessive, reclusive genius with his own supercomputer(s)? The mysterious death of his closest(?) associate?
The next season of All My Bitcoins is going to be even more exciting than the thrilling Great Blocksize War story arc.
Every time I think 'this can't possibly get any more dramatic, engrossing, and entertaining' the writers pull a rabbit out of their hat.
Also: "[email protected]."
ROFLMAO
Why did he delete his twitter then?
So that gullible people like you would take it as evidence for him being Satoshi. The tweets are all archived, so he's not actually hiding anything.
Most likely no, IMO. There are too many warning signs of some kind of a scam attempt (or an attempt to defraud some entity)
Why did he delete his twitter then?
If he wanted to scam, he would have held his twitter to get the fame and glory and use that as a cover to scam.
No, I think he is the real deal.

I found another story about this by gizmodo. It says Kleiman and Wright might have invented Bitcoin together. Then it goes on to say Kleiman might have had a fortune in Bitcoins, but it also says he died broke and in squalor. Anyone with a fortune in Bitcoins would have sold some to ensure they didn't have to live like that.

According to Paige, Wright eventually told him that Kleiman was the creator of Bitcoin. Later, he clarified that the cryptocurrency was invented by a group of people which included Kleiman. If that was true, Kleiman was likely sitting on a fortune when he died in April 2013—even if he were in possession of only half of Satoshi’s fabled million-bitcoin stockpile, that would have been worth about $65,000,000 at the time of his death.
Quote
Several of the emails and documents sent to Gizmodo point to a close relationship between Wright and Kleiman, a U.S. Army veteran who lived in Palm Beach County, Florida. Kleiman was confined to a wheelchair after a motorcycle accident in 1995, and became a reclusive computer forensics obsessive thereafter. He died broke and in squalor, after suffering from infected bedsores. His body was found decomposing and surrounded by empty alcohol bottles and a loaded handgun. Bloody feces was tracked along the floor, and a bullet hole was found in his mattress, though no spent shell casings were found on the scene. But documents shared with Gizmodo suggest that Kleiman may have possessed a Bitcoin trust worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and seemed to be deeply involved with the currency and Wright’s plans. “Craig, I think you’re mad and this is risky,” Kleiman writes in one 2011 email to Wright. “But I believe in what we are trying to do.”
Might have not been found until recently
Thousands of obsessives and journalists couldn't find that post? It's not as if it's on a .onion site either. Considering the collective detective skills that regularly show up on here that's hard to believe.
If this was posted 2009 why is it now getting viral after there was literally a man hunt for Satoshi?

Most likely no Satoshi wanted to be unknown and he could be anywhere and why show up now he is still probably somewhere happy and anonymous and safe or dead so this man is most likely not satoshi.
No, no doubt. Just go over Satoshi's stuff. This guy is like a doushy
used car salesman. Not a chance satoshi would be as arrogant as this
