Dorian Nakamoto has taken steps towards suing Newsweek for their false report about him earlier this year. For those unfamiliar with one of the largest media gaffs of 2014, Newsweek author Leah McGrath Goodman wrote an article allegedly unmasking Dorian Nakamoto as Satoshi Nakamoto (the pseudonym of Bitcoin's creator(s)). Newsweek stood by their "forensic reporting," which they admitted consisted of identifying the several dozen some-odd Japanese people with both the names 'Satoshi' and 'Nakamoto' and searching for computer/engineering skills. It is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds. The....
Newsweek uncovers either Satoshi, or a man willing to deny being him. (CCN's original live-updated coverage here). As Newsweek's article regarding the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto surges through the community, many are stunned with disbelief. The man who signed every message with a PGP key, never gave away personal details despite communicating for years, and eluded numerous attempts to find him; could he have been using his real name the whole time?

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....
The man Newsweek named as bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto has denied any involvement with cryptocurrency. Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, a Japanese-American resident of Los Angeles, found himself thrust into the the limelight just a day ago when Newsweek reporter Leah McGrath Goodman claimed the anonymous, or pseudonymous, man who released bitcoin on the world had been found at last. Newsweek ran the story on the front cover of its newly-relaunched print edition, but after being pursued through the streets of LA by reporters for a day, Nakamoto said: "I got nothing to do with it". Yesterday,....
Ever since bitcoin was created five years ago, the crypto community has been trying to find out the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. Many tried and failed, so eventually Satoshi Nakamoto became the Keyser Söze of the bitcoin world. As the Söze saying goes, the biggest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist. Nakamoto's biggest trick was convincing the world that his name was a pseudonym. A new report claims it was not. Newsweek scoop. Newsweek magazine is reviving its print edition this week and it came back in style, with one of the biggest scoops in....
