Well, to be honest, hehe seems like you've encountered this whole scenario with your eye haha just kidding well, I don't know if all these are rumors or anything else with a bitter reality touch but it doesn't matter at all at least on the current level where Bitcoin is standing in the top assets. Sotoshi is alive or not can be a mystery and will be always a mystery. 

From the main o you mean the current admin theymos. I don't know really does he knows or not.

No one knows about the real situation or reason why he's gone and no experts or people still figure out his identity since until know his identity still a mystery. Also no closest proof can point out his identity and if you try to search it here you can read all purr speculation but nothing leads on his real foot tracks.

Searching his identity is really intriguing so if you are still interested to know some of details about it much better if you search more information in google and watch some documentary videos on youtube to have fun searching some leads and interesting informations happened before that you can discover for little back tracking of past activities happened before.

I COULD TELL THAT SATOSHI COULD BE STEVE JOBS

It’s something you ain’t going to find out today or ever even in cryptospace. You can’t even tell if it’s an individual or some organization but, you could as well keep calm about the pseudo nature of Satoshi Nakamoto and learn about;

what is Bitcoin,
how it’s utilized,
how to remain private about running your wallet and all, and
how not to get scammed as well.

These are of the most importance to you than looking out for;
What could be the real nature of Satoshi.
You would be waiting precious time that could serve you better.
While I would be so bold to tell you that I don’t know whom or what nature Satoshi might be, I would like you to know that, it sure ain’t Craig S. Wright.

I think after 13 years of speculation about Nakamoto, it's time for all of us to just appreciate Bitcoin for what it is today. 

I used to really wonder who was hiding behind that pseudonym, but at this point does it really matter?  Bitcoin has taken on a life of its own and impacted so many people regardless of who invented it. The creator was brilliant, no doubt, but Bitcoin has become bigger than any one person now.

Elon

And what's the connection between the question in the title and the opening post?

This question has been asked countless of times. It will probably be asked in the next googol years, but it will end up just the same, a pointless guessing game.

The more you raise this question, the more the answer will be irrelevant. At this point, after all those years of investigating who Satoshi Nakamoto is, nobody will take guesses seriously anymore. People would casually guess that Satoshi is Hal Finney, Nick Szabo, Dorian Nakamoto, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Jim Carrey, Jo Koy, and so on and so forth. But all this won't matter anymore.

Bitcoin network runs by Bitcoin miners and Bitcoin full nodes. Satoshi Nakamoto can not shut it down and no single government can shut it down because Bitcoin network is decentralized. To shut it down, it must be a massive global effort from many governments or all governments to shut down the Bitcoin network.

They have to block access to download Bitcoin Core and other Bitcoin wallet softwares too.

This is very big task and it can not be completed in my opinion.

What if all the countries block access to the internet or decide to block Bitcoin? If only one country allows Bitcoin and there are a couple of running nodes, Bitcoin will survive. I don't think all the countries will agree to ban or block Bitcoin. Some countries are working on adopting Bitcoin and companies adopting Bitcoin as well. If only El Salvador does not agree to ban Bitcoin, it's enough for Bitcoin to be active. We don't need 15K active nodes. Indeed more blocks make the network stronger. But that does not mean we need them to keep running Bitcoin. The government can't shut down Bitcoin. Or else, they could have done this a decade ago when Bitcoin was slowly growing. They were unable to shut it down back then, now it's not possible anymore.
