This is funny, a couple of months ago everybody was saying how publishing the identity of a man who holds millions in an anonymous virtual currency would most likely lead to somebody attempting to extort him and put his life great danger.
I don't think very many people said that about the false Satoshi. They just said he would be harassed heavily and his life would be made much more difficult.
I think it's very unlikely anyone would threaten to murder or kidnap Satoshi.
People seem to forget there are lots of millionaires, multi millionaires, and billionaires around. For the most part in America, Europe, Japan, etc they are safe.
But I guess at least being downvoted means someone is reading it.
Yes, but they generally have their fortunes in various bank accounts, investment accounts, land/property, and other things that are very difficult to steal and monetize without leaving traces. How much security would you need if you had $20 million in gold bars in your living room, and the general public knew about it?
