"Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." - Benjamin Franklin

It seems highly improbable that a team of any size would have been successful at keeping this a secret for this long, let alone not wrestle for control of vast BTC wealth.

I find the theory interesting that the creator (or creators) ended up in jail and plan to rug as soon as they're released.
I would assume such a team would understand that very well, and would cut itself from that wealth by relinquishing access to the wallet
I think this is a very naïve interpretation of human nature, one supported by zero history.
