>To my astonishment I had accumulated more followers with this parody account in 8 hours than I had with my actual Twitter account over the course of 8 years

While he's right in that aspect.  He can say it is a parody account tons.  Problem is, that a lot of people are scouting for the real Satoshi, and many of them have ill intentions and are funded by people with ill intentions.

So I admire him for really saying it is a "parody" account. But Satoshi Nakamoto is hunted "for real" and he's made a parody account of a person who is "hunted".  Don't know what more to say about that..
