I am assuming you are referring to the million bitcoins attributed to 
Satoshi.


First of all, James is not Satoshi. I guess you'll just have to take my 
word for that.

Second, those bitcoins are tentatively worth $60 billion. That's a lot, 
but I can name 10 people with more money, and a quick google turns up 
another 10.

I say tentatively, if someone started selling them then price of bitcoin 
would drop, probably to about $30k.

Which would place their owner/controller at no 51 on the world's richest 
list.
