That wouldn’t really mean anything. If he is Satoshi, he may have lost the keys. If he has the keys, that doesn’t mean he is Satoshi, it only proves that he has the keys.

Anyone who has the keys is Satoshi, for all intents and purposes. The problem is no-one has the keys (at least publicly).

Satoshi has never revealed themselves. That's because they're either smart enough not to, or they're dead.
