Title: Was Satoshi Really Arrested? Is This Real? Fake News Report?
Post by: derpberp on December 07, 2014, 03:45:14 AM
I'm honestly am unsure if this is untrue or not, I'd figure it'd be all over the forums by now so I'm thinking its fake. Can anyone here please shed some light on this? Is this for real?

It can't be real, I'm really hoping it isn't real, satoshi deserves every fucking bitcoin he owns, they can not take them away :(

This is not true. Nationalreport.net is a satire site.

The article does have a lot of very accurate facts about bitcoin though (it also has a couple of inaccurate stereotypes as well :/ )

Police apprehended the famous Bitcoin founder while in the middle of seminar he was conducting for Stop Masturbation Now, a Christian anti-masturbation organization.

“FBI agents just stormed the building, came in here without a search warrant or anything,” Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin, a mascot for the group, told CNN. “I’m not familiar with this Satoshi character, honestly if it’s not in the Bible I probably haven’t heard of it, but if this arrest spreads awareness of the harmful effects of self-rape, then that is a good thing. But the Paul Horner I know, he was a great man. Hopefully news of this ordeal will bring the much needed attention to the dangers and consequences of masturbation that it deserves. Hopefully, God willing, one day, self-rape will be illegal and people will finally be free of playing on the Devil’s playground.”

Seriously, you really need to ask that?

we live in an age of misinformation. It isn't something new but it is much more used now a days then in the 19th century and earlier.

I can't believe there are people commenting on that as if it's real :D If you want to know how we all know it's not real, the real Satoshi would be able to sign the Genesis block with a message or for instance post with his account, the problem is you have lots of non-tech morons thinking they know everything so they jump up and down screaming "I FOUND HIM! I FOUND HIM!" like Leah Goodman did, while this is just blatant satire, a lot of these other articles are really just being written by attention seeking journalists.

It's fake.

From Wikipedia:

"National Report is a fake news website which posts fictional articles related to world events.

Paul Horner is the lead writer for the website, using the pseudonym Darius Rubics. Horner uses his own name as a recurring character in all of his stories, including the actor behind "Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin", a character created by Horner that is used as a running gag in many of his stories."



Notice in the article, Satoshi Nakamoto's real name is claimed to be "Paul Horner", and that he was teaching an anti-masturbation seminar. Haha

Wellllll sometimes it's hard to pick the satire, from things like beliefs that children's cartoons are a satanic plot for example ... http://www.cuttingedge.org/ce1021.html

I don't think this is so much misinformation, but rather a way to get people to visit their satire site (in order to get more ad revenue).

I would consider publications like CNN and MSNBC to be better examples of media outlets that are actually spreading misinformation as they present things as fact they know are not true. While this website has it's articles be written outrageously enough so that anyone who reads though ~the first half of the article would be able to reasonably know that the overall message is not true.

I also don't believe in this.
If this will be true, we will see news media reports, court reports, police reports all over the Internet.
Nothing happened, just speculations.
Just relax and enjoy your bitcoin :)

I really think these threads are created by bots or other people's accounts seeing as 20 of the 33 posts on this thread have signature advertisements. In all reality it could be all 1 person. I mean I'm seeing all these threads where op has 0 credibility in both posting material and mental power and somehow it stirs up 15 pages or more of replies by paid signature advertising users...
