You cannot simply throw out theories and state them as facts in an article, exposing someone and putting their life in danger.
Well, yes one can. It is more common than not, unfortunately. Read a few posts on this forum and you'll see what I mean. If you are implying that that is what the reporter of this story did, I'm going to call your reading comprehension sub-standard. She left it as a theory that Dorian S is the creator of Bitcoin and related a lot of facts as she knew them many of which bolstered the theory that he is. This is standard investigative journalism, and I contend that she did a reasonable good job at it all things considered. I've certainly seen much worse.

Both the OP and Dorian occasionally walk with a limp. Just saying.

Suppose Dorian is the real Satoshi, and wants to direct attention away from himself. What will he do?
He'll post a message from a known Satoshi account, saying "I am not Dorian Nakamoto."
Think about that for a while
Suppose Dorian is not the real Satoshi. The real one wants to clear his name and posts from his account 'I am not Dorian Nakamoto.' Think of that with your under the average IQ. Leave the old man alone, he's in enough trouble as it is. Both variants are plausible. I believe the second one. However, I also believe aes1 IQ is above average. You're all implying the real Satoshi is either a bad liar, stupid, or wants to be caught. Why would he behave this obvious, using his real name, denying his identity, etc? He probably just want's to clear this guy's name before some lunatic attempts to murder him. I am implying that I believe that "real one [Satoshi] wants to clear his [Dorian's] name and posts from his account". I am also implying that "Satoshi is either a bad liar, stupid, or wants to be caught" is possible, although I would not interpret his words this way. Believing something does not make it true!

I'll agree I've seen much worse, but it looks to me as if she started out with an unswerving preconceived conviction that her theory was successful and then went out cherry-picking for "evidence" to support it, most of which is at best equivocal.

It would be silly to deny your suggestion outright. At this point there is no way to know what either she or the editors cut out. Maybe they will follow up since the debate seems a little more heated than they seem to have expected. Newsweek also seems to be recently re-vamped so it's not possible to make much of past performance here. It's probably better for everyone that there happens to be some number of questions lingering. The stroke and potential memory loss is also convenient as even if Dorian is Satoshi and potentially has/had control of significant wealth in the form of BTC, it is damn difficult to remember various pass-phrases and such. Especially if they've not been used for many years.

But where is that eagerness when it comes to revealing crime in the highest echelon? Compared to what's going on now, Watergate was a joke.

So the more we as a community bother and hound him the more money he will make in the lawsuit?

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security. Read all about it here: http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/ Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

If I was him, I'd sue too. I wonder if he will actually go forward with a lawsuit. If he does, it will definitely be uncovered if he is actually the Satoshi Nakamoto that Newsweek claims. It would be pretty idiotic of him to go forward with a lawsuit, if it is in fact him...
