It makes no sense for Satoshi to be honest with her and then turn around to deny it, especially considering he had many days to prepare for such an encounter.

At least it is clear that one of them is lying about the conversation. Both of the accounts (his & hers) can't possibly be true.
Has happened though, criminals would confess to their crimes only later in court to deny everything.
Cops cant lead a suspect though like that can they?

IMO with the amount of evidence provided this would have been laughed out of court in a heartbeat.

Of course, I tend to not believe if the cops says one way or another. Without audio/video evidence its just a case of he said she said.

IMO, The way she got to his house makes me wonder the integrity of her work. She lied the whole up to... so she most likely lead with a series of questions to get an answer that she could mold into what she wanted.

Dorian may have been unfamiliar with the term "bitcoin" but assumed that the reporter was using it as a reference to some other classified work.

"And I reasserted, ‘We are talking about Bitcoin here, correct?’ And he said, ‘Yes,’ "
Typical journalist leading question. She mentions bitcoin a few times and then asks him if she is talking about bitcoin. What else is he going to say other than "yes"! ffs

“When I met with him, I told him I’m here to talk to you about Bitcoin. At the time there were two police officers there. In fact, I think that initially their intention was to just escort me away, but when I said ‘Bitcoin,’ one of them was interested and let me continue talking. And I said, ‘You know, people think you were the founder of Bitcoin.’ And I asked him a few questions about, whether or not it was true, and he said, ‘I cannot talk about that. I’m not connected with it anymore.’ The exact quote is in the story. And I reasserted, ‘We are talking about Bitcoin here, correct?’ And he said, ‘Yes,’ but he went on the say that he would not elaborate at all or answer questions. And, in addition, my last question to him was, ‘If you are in anyway not connected, you need to tell me now,’ and he said, ‘I cannot do that.’”

At first I did not believe Dorian S Nakamoto could be the true Satoshi, but I am beginning to find more plausability in the idea. I guess if anyone could find the two officers and either of them could verify Goodman's account of the story that may offer more concrete evidence beyond the very circumstantial proof that's been given thus far.
