"trigger a massive tax bill"

This shouldn't deter him from conclusively proving he is Satoshi. His mere oral claim that he is Satoshi should trigger a massive tax bill anyway. He can't both claim to the world he is Satoshi while telling his tax authority "actually I'm just lying, don't tax me".

Wouldn't that require proving that Satoshi owns the Bitcoin he is suspected to have mined?
