Yeah the "galaxy brain" move is tell everyone you're Satoshi, take out a bunch of lawsuits in the US to try to enforce copyright of the name, lose them, sue people in the UK who say you aren't Satoshi, lose a few of those lawsuits (and drop the rest), lose $100m in damages in the US to the estate of some other dude, lose this copa lawsuit as well. Along the way every judge says stuff about how you aren't at all credible[1]. Now noone will suspect you're the real Satoshi.

Much better than say just keeping quiet. It's like how stealth jets make a bunch of noise so noone will suspect they want to stay hidden.
