Don't think so: o Davis, the author of the New Yorker story, emails Clear.
"I like to keep a low profile," Clear replies. "I'm curious to know how you found me."
Davis eventually cuts to the chase:
Finally, I asked, "Are you Satoshi?"
He laughed, but didn't respond. There was an awkward silence. ^ awkward silence doesn't really work over email. LOL The bigger LOL is when he cashes out after the scheme is uncovered and the baby Jebus is found  Who cashed out 20k last week ? Must have been him too seems he likes living the good life lucky on him  |

Granted, our hero is not that stupid. There is not a single possibility that Satoshi is being discovered by a journalist because he wrote in british style.

If you don't own the private keys, you don't own the coins.

Um, so he thinks the fact someone's using British spellings means they are from the UK? He didn't think maybe there were a few people from the UK employed teaching English in other countries?  |

is "bloody hard" a phrase Americans use? It's used a bit here in Australia and maybe UK though I'm not sure.

This guy, Michael Clear, is a little too young to be Satoshi, no? Just graduating as an undergrad in 2008? Well, it's possible certainly, but I had thought Satoshi was ~30yo. Some of Satoshi's forum posts also appear a bit more mature than undergraduate posting, but you never know I guess.

Bitcoin was Satoshi's passion, not his career. Satoshi succeeded because he was a generalist, an all-rounder, someone who had a great understanding of crypto, but also of economic reality and software construction.
I think anyone who attends a specialist cryptography conference is not going to be Satoshi.

It is better that there is no human face to Bitcoin. That is what they are trying to do.
If you can put a face to Bitcoin you can slander that face and create guilt by association for anyone who uses Bitcoins.
"Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency created by a sexual deviant, is getting a lot of attention lately"
"Bitcoin, a hair brained scheme devised by a man with a history of deception, has been growing in popularity among unsuspecting investors."
etc.

Apparently the 2nd 'suspect' is from Finland - so the New Yorker story has hit the Finnish press (tietoviikko.fi - A Finnish IT magazine) (sorry for the google-translated title) |

That story was lame and does not prove anything. If he was Satoshi - He would not of done the interview at all.

Satoshi knows that search is a hard problem, but verification is trivial.
I think if he really was Satoshi, he would not have tried to deny it.
