**Breaking news** Satoshi Nakamotos identity revealed

[Searing]

I still can't believe they put the picture of his house and his car with the license plate visible.. have they ever heard about "ethic"?

Yea, the author is no idiot. I think it's deliberately done to bait. Article is fake.

if the article is NOT fake they hung him out to dry in the worst yellow journalism i've ever seen..ie we are NEWSWEEK talk to us or we will out you and make your life miserable

he would not cooperate with newsweek so they fried him in public etc

If he would have done an 'exclusive' interview and answered all their questoins etc they would have protected his personal info
and used him as a source on bitcoin (they would have direct info from the bitcoin god on any subject related to bitcoin to have
him comment on for years to come

either way he was gonna get extorted..i'm not sure NOT talking to them would be any worse then the theat of them revealing
who satoshi is an pestering him for info everytime bitcoin bounces

for a guy who everyone says is parinoid he sure has his proof now that being quiet and trying to be under the radar was likely
the right way to go

can't wait to see when 'congress does a supenoa on him ...bet on it...it will likely be informational only but still will suck for the guy"

this is probably gonna end badly i'm afraid

hackers stealing bitcoins uncover their own lack of integrity

[igrindthis]

a man who calls police when you arrive confesses perfectly in one sentence?

he establishes he created bitcoin and he left the project, in his only few words?

if you were to write a fake confession it could be no better than this

gimme a break

Why not? -_-

This is a perfectly legitimate story that has a high level of public interest.  I feel sorry for the hell that this poor man will have to endure for a few weeks, but it is not like she accused him of murder or pedophilia which the UK press have done to many innocent victims over the years usually followed by the tiniest of apologies.  A free press can be a horrible thing.

Well you know not to trust the left wing media!!

actually that is any media with a story of this size....they essentially have NO info from the guy ... mostly speculation....
so they are taking a probably correct guess this is the guy and hanging him out to dry

i assume they will do the same to the first guy to make a transwarp space drive.....

rules be damned on a story that may get you a pulzer prize (and if he is satoshi they will likely get it for this piss poor reporting)

disgusted is what i am

the truth is ...most of us on here..if he lived next door and was that isolated and fragile and mentioned over a beer he was the inventor of bitcoin..i probably would not have told...hard to tell on someone if you know that it will likely destroy their life

or at least i'd like to think of myself as that kinda person in such a situation...(ie ah hell its no ones business) and give what support you
could with the guy

if the article is true satoshi is like a poster child for aspirger's syndrome (spelling?)...which is sad..this is gonna really really mess the poor guy up.....

again i think if he is really satoshi this is gonna end badly imho...jeez don't even get me going about the IRS checking him out now....even if they are just doing it for the fame....and he has done nothing ..the attention he is gonna get is gonna suck (his alma matter univ calling him up for $$$)

it is really really gonna suck for the guy

and if he is NOT satoshi it is gonna suck even worse

If he is not the REAL satoshi and inventor of bitcoin and the real satoshi was to fess up now to save this poor guy (assuming article is fake) he would soooooooo own all the $$$ from Newsweek..if he is not satoshi will be his only hope ..his life is gonna be hell imho

I doubt it's him. He allegedly said: "I have nothing to do with Bitcoin any more". If he'd really be Satoshi he'd probably deny it.

There is of course a chance that she just invented that section.

Maybe this revelation will help clarify the origins of Bitcoin and thus drive up the price. A Newsweek story will also garner mainstream attention. I won't be surprised to see it hit USD $800 by tomorrow.

Do you ever say stupid things when you're put on the spot? Maybe this is the case.

1. it's not a revelation, it's an invasion of privacy
2. newsweek think they are more important than they actually are
3. no chance.

No, they wrote a story that could be read "this old guy has $400,000,000 in his unguarded house and here's a picture of if so you can find it easier". Forget his reputation, his life has been put at risk. You can't apologies to a man who has been beaten and tortured to death to tell were his private keys (he never had) are.

Can't shake the feeling that this article is indeed a set-up / bait to see what happens or to stir up commotion. Newsweek is relaunching, so this would be a perfect stunt to draw attention to a failing magazine...

Yup.

How many donut chomping cops would know who Satoshi was?

[Chucky1976]

Yeah you shall never hear another word about him now. I'm sure there will be a raid on his house by CIA or some federal agency declaring some bogus bs story!!

If this is Satoshi Nakamoto I'll eat my hat:

It totally doesn't fit the profile of crypto wizard, who made something hundreds (thousands) fail to do before him. This has to be some other guy.
