I thought the fact that it was satoshi or someone else that hacked into his account is still being questioned?
during the dorian saga. (dorian is not 'satoshi'- the bitcoin creator by the way)
'satoshi' - the bitcoin creator accessed his old email to make a messaged to debunk the dorian media theory. but....
the terms and conditions of his email got updated, which caused a 6 month no use policy to trigger which would release the email username to anyone.
so 6 months after the dorian saga, someone managed to time it right to 'reactivate' the account simply by signing up using the username which was now freely available. they then got old emails out of archive.
........... well thats the current theory of the whole drama of 2014
