Did The Real Satoshi Nakamoto Just Comment on Newsweek's Exposé?
Following years of silence, it would appear as if the real Satoshi Nakamoto has come forth to announced that his is not the Nakamoto in Southern California, as declared by Newsweek. "I am not Dorian Nakamoto," came a post from the same username the bitcoin creator used to start a discussion about his new idea, bitcoin, back in early 2009. Already, members of the BitcoinTalk forums are abuzz, along with the members of the bitcoin community at Reddit.com. Josef Davies-Coates, the website's administrator, tweeted about the unexpected response from Nakamoto: ...but I can confirm that the reg'd....

Newsweek claims to have found and interviewed the Real Satoshi Nakamoto: http://mag.newsweek.com/2014/03/14/bitcoin-satoshi-nakamoto.html. "Quiet, unassuming". Newsweek reporter Leah McGrath Goodman claims to have tracked down Satoshi Nakamoto, 64 and the face behind Bitcoin to his unassuming family home in Los Angeles's San Bernardino foothills. She writes: He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done....
There's no doubt about the fact that the bitcoin community has voiced their opinions on a Newsweek exposé of the alleged Satoshi Nakamoto (long story short: outrage and disappointment) by Leah McGrath Goodman, but now the Bitcoin Foundation is chiming in. "Today we have seen heightened media speculation on the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto," the advocacy group writes in their response, entitled We Are All Bitcoin. "As of this writing, we have seen zero conclusive evidence that the identified person is the designer of Bitcoin. Those closest to the Bitcoin project, the informal team of core....
While we don't want to hop aboard the beat the dead horse train, we think this video is an important development in the Newsweek piece that made it's debut Thursday morning. It's a follow-up to a post published on newsBTC (and tons of other sites) last night and this morning, where Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto (the man pegged by Newsweek's Leah McGrath Goodman as the creator of bitcoin) denied claims he's ever been involved with the digital currency. What you're about to watch in the video above is Dorian at the Associated Press bureau in downtown Los Angeles discussing the 'exposé',....
The man pegged by Newsweek as bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is poised to take legal action for what he claims to have been a false story that took the cryptocurrency community by storm back in March. Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto's name became public - very public - in a highly sensationalized exposé entitled The Face Behind Bitcoin written by journalist Leah McGrath Goodman, employed by Newsweek. Goodman's story painted a very interesting picture of this reserved retired gentleman living in Los Angeles county, except for the fact that Mr. Nakamoto denied the story outright almost....
Newsweek's decision to out Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto as the creator of bitcoin appears to be backfiring spectacularly. Nakamoto was quick to deny that he was the 'real' Satoshi Nakamoto and he attributed the misunderstanding to his less than perfect command of the English language. He told the Associated Press that he refused to discuss his employment with Newsweek reporter Leah McGrath Goodman because he had signed confidentiality agreements, not because he was involved in the development of bitcoin. If unfounded, Newsweek's scoop could very quickly turn into a PR nightmare, as the magazine....
