... tomorrow they would have a press statement saying the Satoshi story was incorrect but it isn't their fault due to a fact malleability bug.


Too soon?

The "attach answer number 2 to question number 1" malleability "bug"* in journalism that has been around for decades.



*like someone posted in another thread. For all it's worth I've been a victim of this bug in the past. It's alive and well.

Newsweek's more like SR.  Relaunching only to hit disaster again right away.
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

It was back in the days of the Vietnam War and Watergate.

They went bankrupt and were re-organized.  Pretty much a rag with the newsweek name/brand (which is devaluing about as fast as MtGox).

If Mark ran Newsweek he'd rack his brains trying to figure out, "what story could I possibly run that would get my name off everyone's lips?"
