If I was Dorian I would sue does scumbags for millions. Those reporters accusing him and even posted his address and pictures endangers the life of Dorian and his family.

I could not agree more. It's absolutely horrendous how this man has been treated. It's disgusting if he's NOT Satoshi, and even more awful if he is, as that would make him a hero of our time.

The only thing Newsweek has achieved by posting this bullshit is make Dorian an enemy of the state, hopefully the American government won't buy into their bullshit though.

Is the word around town that he used the donations to hire the attorney?

-B-

That's what I'm wondering. I haven't been able to find anything substantially credible that says that.

Although, it is a fairly reasonable assumption considering his purported financial status and living arrangement.

He couldn't afford internet access, so the money for the lawyers came from....BTC?*
Oh well, he can do what he wants with the money.
*If it's an attempt to collect damages, than many lawyers will take the case "for free" and then take ~30% of the winnings.

I am going to take your ripping off of my thread idea as a compliment.

According to the timestamps I started this thread almost 8 hours before yours, but hey ho thanks for joining in Wink

He is just a troll who doesn't know anything - so I wouldn't worry about him. We all know who posted (way) earlier. Thanks for the post!

What did he end up getting, like $40,000 ?

Thats plenty to spend the next 12 months filing a lawsuit and having all expenses covered, with any average attorney fees.

I hope he does so.

According to Andreas Antonopoulus,

Quote

At the end of March, donations will be converted to USD and delivered to Dorian Nakamoto.

The donation address is 1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6NJ4UrjX. You can check
https://blockchain.info/address/1Dorian4RoXcnBv9hnQ4Y2C1an6NJ4UrjX to see if anything has happened to the donations.

Question is he really trying to dispell the rumors about him being linked to bitcoin or his he more likely to be getting ready to sue for the damages caused by the article? Either way I see some fireworks ready to explode.

"Dorian S. Nakamoto hires lawyer to 'clear his name' of bitcoin claim"

Looks like those bitcoin donations from the community are going into a lawyers pocket unless he manages to get compensation from Newsweek.
In the article he states

"My prospects for gainful employment has been harmed because of Newsweek's article."

I would have thought just the opposite, he's more chance of getting work because of the publicity, anyway good luck to the old guy, I like him.

Either way i wouldnt like to be him.

I would have also thought he would have much Greater chances of employment if he IS our Satoshi Nakamoto. Doubt he is looking for employment right now. But after reading his life story I agree that he is a very interesting person either way, and I wish him the best of luck with all the media/paparazzi bastards.

Yeah, best wishes to him. Whether he is or isn't I really like him too. Even without the bitcoin angle, he is an intriguing person.

I agree. Did you see the video of him switch to speaking from English to Japanese then to German (I think) when being chased by reporters?
