From what I read on other sources, he is under investigation for tax issues by the ATO for a number of years now.
Perhaps the ATO felt they need to move quickly when news broke out (suggesting he is the BitCoin creator), to secure his assets before they are transferred / moved.

- imron 11y agoTrue, however I don't doubt that there are [very] stupid people who think it would be a good idea to break in to his house to steal hard-drives/computers in case they have bitcoins on them. And it looks like the ATO doesn't doubt that either and wants to protect evidence from its ongoing investigation.
