Some great information and research, thank you.  I am still looking through everything.

Allow me to go full tin-foil for a moment to mention that several people have previously brought up the "Laughing Man" in the context of Satoshi:

The Laughing Man is from the animated series Ghost in the Shell.  Laughing Man logo:

Quote
The Complex story arc of Stand Alone Complex focuses on the Laughing Man case, and on a medical/governmental conspiracy tied in to the fate of the Laughing Man. The Laughing Man is an expert hacker, able to hide his physical presence by editing himself out of video feeds and cybernetic eyes, concealing his identity by superimposing an animated logo over his face, and hijacking cybernetic brains altogether, all in real-time.[1]
The character's name is taken from the title of J. D. Salinger's short story, The Laughing Man. The Laughing Man logo is an animated image of a smiling figure wearing a cap, with circling text quoting a line from Salinger's novel The Catcher in the Rye ("I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes." ). The Laughing Man's actual name, as far as can be ascertained, is Aoi (アオイ?), meaning Blue in Japanese.

Here is a previous logo someone had made regarding satoshi:

How is this relevant to the Bitcoin Discussion?

The cover story of Newsweek is about him being the inventor of bitcoin.  True or false, if you don't see how that's relevant, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.

I've noticed something that I haven't seen mentioned. I'd like your help identifying the symbol on Dorian Nakamoto's hat in the picture in this link (as well as if the site/pic looks legit).

It is dated 8-19-12




The most obvious and likely explanation would be that it is related to railway signs. So far I haven't been able to locate any just like that though.

The closest thing I have been able to find to it so far is the anarcho-capitalist flag:

Gold-black bisected flag
The 'black-and-yellow' or 'black-and-gold' flag is used by anarcho-capitalists and other market anarchists. Like other anarchist flags, this flag is bisected diagonally. The right half in black is for anarchy and the yellow is intended to symbolise gold, a commodity of exchange often used in marketplaces unrestricted by state intervention. The flag was first used in public in Colorado in 1963 at an event organised by Robert LeFevre at Rampart College.[1]

In fact if you google image search for anarcho-capitalist hats and merchandise you will find things that like this:




I had never seen the anarcho-capitalist flag until I started to look for symbols that could be circular with half gold/yellow and half black like the one on Dorian's hat.  The fact that the black and yellow were on the correct sides and at the correct angle made them the closest match of ANY images I could find.  BUT, Dorian's hat is not exactly the same in that the design has an outer circle. I would like to know what this hat and symbol represents. Maybe it's something obvious and you can tell me what an idiot I am for not knowing what it is. Thank you for any help with this!
