One thing I did not discuss in this article is game theory. Let's say you are the real Satoshi Nakamoto and your intent all along was to remain anonymous.

Then some asshole reporters and/or extortionists dox you.

If your reason for not wishing to be known as Satoshi Nakamoto includes the many potential attacks (both legal and criminal) that Satoshi might be exposed to, then there is only one way to resume your previous anonymity.

That way would be to say, yes, I am Satoshi Nakamoto, and then deliberately fail the tests.

After being dismissed as a fake, Wright has been able to resume his work in peace and quiet, for the most part.

Note that in his Bitcoin presentation last weekend, he never claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto. He simply wants his work and opinions about segwit and the future of Bitcoin scaling to be evaluated on their own merits.
