There are something like 5,000 families in the US worth more than $100M, the majority don't have private security, don't worry about kidnappings, and don't take any real actions to protect themselves from the Bilderbergs (?)

They live in neighborhoods away from crime, keep liquid assets in banks with plenty security, keep majority of it in forms crooks can't easily coerce them out of, and have insurance against common risks. I'd say they take plenty of action to protect themselves.

And they are the elites that make money on the system's corruption and schemes, some even attending Bilderberg. Why would they worry about elite get-togethers as a threat to their life if they're playing ball in a way that makes them money and power? Unlikely.

Their money is not stored in a highly portable and difficult to trace form that can be sent quickly to an anonymous owner.

And Wright lives in London according to that Vegas video. Even more billionaires live there without much worries about kidnapping, and you'd think the Russians there would be a testcase.

Is there some leaked "source" that claims that Satoshi is American too ?

PS: Getting kidnapped for ransom is not so uncommon in third world countries.

The linked article combined with the Gizmodo one make a compelling case that the creators of Bitcoin are an American and an Australian.. Where kidnapping for ransom is extraordinarily uncommon.

they keep their money in banks, which most certainly have full security detail.
