Actually its this guy.
Hah, that's just Toshi, not Satoshi, as far as I'm concerned. That said, I made the exact same connection the first time I heard the name Satoshi.

Can we please stop these posts now? Use the ones that are already
on the forum and share your opinion that way, this is getting quite
tiresome.

It doesn't matter if he is or he isn't, when somebody tells you to leave them alone and not harass them outside their own house as these journalists have you leave them the fuck alone, I bet most people would understand that but not 'journalists'. We've had situations like this before and no one's been able to prove anything and now we've got two men people are claiming to be Satoshi who's lives these morons have now completely ruined.
Pretty sure it's not the real one.
The real Satoshi is rich as fuck and not about to get doxxed.
Just because he hasn't moved his coins doesn't mean he hasn't sold any of them.
There are a lot of rich whales/funds etc who would happily purchase the privatekeys to his wallets and keep it on the downlow.

The only problem with that is that those whales, won't know if the previous owner has kept a copy of the private keys.
Do you imagine yourself paying millions and leaving that probability?
Yes, people pay multi millions of dollars for things all the time and trust that the old user won't steal it.
I sold a $600,000 boat I could quite easily take back if I'd kept a copy of the keys, but then I'd get done for theft.

Bet? Free lunch for Dorian 
I'd take that offer too.

The Bitcoin White Paper is in the style of scientific journal where everything has to be scientifically "true". If you notice that the White Paper always use "we" and never used "I", you can easily come to the conclusion that author is a group of more than one person instead of a single person.
Just read any serious scientific journal and you will notice that either there is no reference to the author(s) or the reference has to be scientifically "true" -- "We" means more than one person.
Also because of this reason that the White Paper used a false name which will seriously discredit the contents of the White Paper itself in the sense of scientific truthiness, the authors will not reveal themselves until the time when there is almost 0 doubt for the usefulness of bitcoin in the society.

How can you ascertain the bet result?
Seems it is likely that it will be difficult to prove or disprove this allegation.
As we can see how poorly Dorian communicates, any second hand claims about a confession are to be taken as unreliable. I would want to make my own judgements based on a full video recording of the confession and all context of what he said before and after, not just some snippet chopped out of a long discussion trying to spin us into frenzied emotional reactions.
This entire thing is a big emotional uproar about nothing.
Back to work....

I think he is Satoshi. just three reasons:
1. His background
2. The reporter use FBI support to get some data
3. the P2p statement use different Public key to deny that
so how much do u want to bet???

I really don't buy any of this. Lets make a bet on any of the sites that support this and put the money where our mouth is.
Please if someone has created the bet post it.
I speculate that in the next several days something will be revealed that will exclude the Mr in the news from the potential founders of Bitcoin.

1. ok
2. what data?! I have no information of the reporter using FBI neither.
3. There is no public key used there.
so 2/3 of your arguments are nonsense
and you dare to claim stuff, omg

Two spaces after a period? That's normal and correct use of punctuation. Yep.
This was the result after I voted:
Yes - 22 (21.8%)
No - 79 (78.2%)
I just want to ask those 22people(21.8%) that what makes them think that he's real Satoshi Nakamoto ..! I'm not trying to prove anything but I want to know there perspective too..! Want to know how strong there claims are.! Because Most of the info i gathered is from this forum and everyone here is claiming he's not satoshi .. and i can understand they have enough substance in their claims. so I believe so , but want to know more , someones perspective who thinks he's real

I think 70:30 it is him / he is involved.
1. His work background.
2. His name is Satoshi Nakamoto.
3. He uses 2 spaces after the point too. His writing style is different but this might be because of his stroke or he simply doesn't care outside of professional work.
4. Hackernews article about one of the first physical bitcoin accepted businesses who recognized him as their first customer. (could be bogus)
5. Trying hard to look simple and uneducated in the interview (where is my food? I never communicated with bitcoins and even called it bitcom) despite his professional background. I'm pretty sure he would at least look up what bitcoin is after being harrassed by a reporter about it. Even if he's not the 'real Satoshi' he should be a really clever man.
The question is why he didn't cash out a little bit. Sounds like he and his family could need it.

no, i still think its a group of people. maybe he was a part of it, but i dont think so.
This man is an exact clone of Satoshi Nakamoto.
To protect himself, Satoshi made many copies, all different ages, and planted them around the world. Without secret technology, there is no feasible way to extract private keys from any of them.
The legend continues...
Even though he denies it and even though the real satoshi made a comment on it, I'm still confident this is the guy. The consistencies far out weigh the inconsistencies. The fact that satoshi decides to come out of hiding the day this happens is just too coincidental. A man named satoshi nakamoto who just so happens to be a libertarian engineer who's worked on some top secret stuff is just too much evidence. Why are we assuming he worked alone? Perhaps he had someone translate his thoughts so it appeared he spoke perfect English. I'm still convinced this man his him.
OMG, it's not coincidence, it was consequence...
