Fair play to him. Its what I had in mind when I made my donation, would have been annoyed if it was used for free lunch Grin

Actually I would prefer if it went to his nutrition rather than wasted money in courts.

That being said:
I feel very proud for all the members that have donated.

That goes to show that we might be oceans apart but only a click away and we stick together.

I feel very proud for this. Grin

I hope he wins, those journalists are scumbags, especially the people at newsweek that posted up details of where he lived.

"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.

1. the donations were not really meant to just buy him another bowl of sushi, they were meant to be used to help protect him physically and reputably, so i do not mind him paying a solicitor to sue the media.. as that will help protect him from harassment in the future.

2. gainful employment, he is at the age to retire on a nice corporate bank pension along with a government pension, employment is not a big worry, but i agree this whole saga does limit his options and freedom to want to gain employment.

3. i too feel sorry for dorian, so i dedicate this song to him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHkKJfcBXcw

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.
