Sounds like this reporter is hell bent on making her career ("the reporter that discovered Satoshi") at all costs.
Exactly correct. Super foul that she posted his personal details and picture... Regardless of if there is truth to it, it would not be surprising if he is held for ransom or something atrocious like that...
This reporter & newsweek seem like scum... to put up this mans house, address, and almost an exact location (it might take 10 minutes, but most will be able to find his house) and then to state he could be sitting on $400 million. Disgusting.
I am certain she would not like her address posted on that article right now, and she's worth no where near $400 million... but its the only fair thing to do at this point.
I'm probably way off, but for some reason my gut feeling is that this might actually be Satoshi... if he is actually as smart as she makes him out to be. Oddly enough, this is actually the type of person I had hoped Satoshi would end up being, but there would be no way of telling without him proving it or maybe meeting him in person and being able to communicate to him (which sounds impossible).
I guess there is a chance the reporter discovered it really wasn't Satoshi after her investigation (which I can only assume took a good amount of time) and decided to just destroy the guy that led her on?
In any case, BTC will survive.
