The man who is now suspected but not proven to be the inventor of bitcoin, is now effectively, in a literal and figurative sense, a victim of mob rule.

Although being curious and maybe even finding the real man is not without it's singular reward of knowing that, the consequences of that for the man himself whether he is Satoshi or not are significant...because of US.

If you believed in the value of a bitcoin, or the idea of a bitcoin, and you thought it was valuable, you would leave this person alone whether he invented it or not.

Bitcoin may change the world in some way, or at least make a dent in it. But chasing an old man around in the effort to make news-porn out of it is really sad and against the morals of civilized society.
