I wonder if this could be Satoshi creating an additional layer of complexity in the hunt for his/her identity. By compromising his email address and web properties he can basically direct the masses in any direction he/she wants to. While ensuring that they have false bits of information seeded within them.

Creating a myth and story around the creator is brilliant to ensuring future relevance. I doubt this is a planned event; however, if the Satoshi did plan it... Wow tip my hat to you sir/ma'am
