Air Traffic Control programmer, so he has the skills.

Not really, creating bitcoin is way beyond what the typical programmer is capable of.

How do u know Dorian was a typical programmerWink

Sorry for not going by the trend of denying Dorian to be Satoshi. Me too is a supporter of Satoshi staying anonymous. But a Q is haunting me...

Dorian claims he had to cut off internet for financial condition. But then, how did he continue his train collecting passion, where he has to import it from different country ?

They're called paper catalogs.  They still exist.

AFAIK he collected real model trains, not paper catalogs.

No, thats perhaps how he bought the trains.  This is how the world worked 10-15 years ago.  You purchased things via catalogs and the telephone.

He should invest the 46 btc into sueing Newsweek for a million

Assholes...

But how this publicity is bad for him finding a job is beyond me, should it not be helpful?

Corporations generally avoid controversial characters like plague, e.g. no media will ever recruit Salman Rushdie.

Newsweek has responded...

Quote
Newsweek has not received any statement or letter from either Mr. Nakamoto or his legal counsel. If and when we do, we will respond as necessary.

If this isn't prove that these guys are total cunts I don't know what is, the least they could do is apologise, but I suspect they're another of these news organisations that think they're doing 'gods' work by stalking and harassing people.

Newsweek has apparently gone the way of US Magazine and the Enquirer etc.    I haven't read the Newsweek article but I see he has legal counsel.  I wouldn't be surprised to see him sue Newsweek particularly if it really has hurt his job search.  However 46 Bitcoin may help him find a little light from his experience!

It's. Not. Him. I don't know why people keep talking about it, the dude just wants to get back to his life so honor that and stop bringing him up.

Out of curiosity, if he's lying about not being involved (hypothetically speaking), are there any legal repercussions for him making a public statement that is completely deceptive?

I asked myself that same thing! I'm not a lawyer but I don't think there can be any legal repercussion.

To get in trouble for blatantly lying in public, when not under oath, it has to affect someone else directly. So, for example, you can't commit libel/slander which is defamation of someone (actually might apply to Newsweek against Dorian).
Politicians are lying all day long, and they are doing just fine.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I feel that in the long run, this will be a positive thing for Dorian.

It's clear he's had some tension in his life, and some difficulty relating to people, and now he has a community of thousands of people that have affection for him, regardless of whether he's the "real Satoshi" or not.

The positive vibes of thousands of people being directed at a man with a difficult life can't help but be a good thing, in the long run, in my opinion.

This is reality. I wish the donations actually reaches his hand and he actually accepts them !!!

I thought everybody already agreed it was Nick Szabo. When did this change? What is Nick's initials backwards?

What is most disturbing here is that this identity confusion has disturbed his personal life.
