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....
After the false rumour that Dorian Nakamoto (photo) was Bitcoin's inventor, a study pointed out that Nick Szabo may be the creator of the cryptocurrency.

The approach is a bit more 'scientific' this time, but the end claim that Satoshi Nakamoto is any one individual is still doubtful.....

Satoshi Nakamoto remains an obscure figure to most people that are involved in cryptocurrencies. As the creator of Bitcoin, he is the reason we are all here. You would not be reading this article if it weren't for him. Heck, I would not have written this text, and we would probably think virtual currencies could only exist in a galaxy far, far away. Inventor of Bitcoin. However, Nakamoto is real. Whether....
Theymos, a veteran in the Bitcoin community, posted a thread on Bitcointalk a few hours ago stating that he received an email from an old email address known to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. Theymos said that the e-mail stated, and he quotes: "Michael, send me some coins before I hitman you." Theymos recognized that the "real" Satoshi Nakamoto would probably not send that message, and as such he declared that Satoshi Nakamoto's accounts had been compromised. Satoshi Nakamoto Used [email protected] To Register On P2P Foundation. Credibility has been added to Theymos statement following a post....
