no, the forum account was hacked to make that claim. It wasn't by Satoshi.

Are you sure, I wasn't aware of that?
Edit: the "I am not Dorian Nakamoto" was on March 7 2014, the account hack on Sept 8 of same year. It doesn't prove it conclusively. In fact the hack may well have been done deliberately, for a (kind of) plausible deniability (i.e. now you can't tell whether it was the real "Satoshi" and thus there was no provable breach of secrecy).
Discussion at the time: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1zrshb/real_satosh...
The consensus is that it was not from the real Satoshi.
In fact the reaction to that forum post are the same as the reaction to CSW's claims: Sign it or it's worthless.
Good point. But on a second thought - signing it might have been in violation of whatever secrecy requirement, possibly a crime, under this theory we will never ever see anything signed from Satoshi.
