Its not the admin. Michel Bauwins runs the P2P foundation. He is busy advising the president of Ecuador on their economy. Not a good suspect for juvenile fakery, imho.

The owner of the site is looking into it — https://pay.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zs8fi/i_am_nicola...

The username checks out, has an OTC rating, and has been on bitcointalk since 2011. Completely trustworthy, lets see what they say.

That's what I was thinking: admin of site. If it it is Satoshi it could be Dorian lying.

Unless he's

a. lost/destroyed the key

b. purposefully keeping it uncertain

c. Hiding out at his kids house where he doesn't have his keys handy but knows his password.
