I really wonder if Satoshi’s fortune is gone forever. Maybe the CIA found his real identity and uncovered his keys. Dumping that much BTC on the market would crash the market and probably even tank other financial markets.

Why would they throw a dozen South American coups, import tonnes of crack to the inner cities, conduct illegal human experimentation or attempt the assassination of multiple democratically elected world leaders?

Honestly no idea, they seem a little fash-y for any logical reasoning that i can comprehend.

Maybe they had another insurgency to fund and didn't want it going through the vast ^official^ books?
