People know who Satoshi is or was, in that it's the same Satoshi that invented Bitcoin. (But nobody knows who that is or was "in real life".) But if an agency has access to that wallet, then any transactions would be visible to everybody. Activity on Satoshi's wallet after all this time would shake up the Bitcoin world pretty hard. I don't know how sudden activity on this known-inactive wallet would accomplish any of those things.

BTC is trackable. How would the NSA use $41B when everyone in the world could see where and when it moved? And if the Fed had it, why would they sit on it and not say anything? the whole point of the Fed is stability, and sitting on unstable currency -- which would get even move volatile if people found out about their hidden supply -- would be a waste of time. nothing but conspiracy mongering bunkum here

Many reason to believe the NSA would be behind the digital crypto currency fad, they need the tech, and it needs to be as secure as possible To me this sounds more plausible than the "a random dude from SF" theory
