Do you mean this context?
Now face to face, with two police officers as witnesses, Nakamoto's responses to my questions about Bitcoin were careful but revealing.
......

"I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it," he says, dismissing all further queries with a swat of his left hand. "It's been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection."

If this is indeed the context of the quote, they should be able to provide the tape. If they will not provide the tape, then either a) they weren't filming, or b) the tape contradicts her claimed context.

In the case of a, we are to believe that the crew from newsweek wasn't filming when they met with the person who they believed to be the founder of Bitcoin?  Then, we must further accept her recollection that his answer was regarding Bitcoin, and not his work for the government?

If no tape is released, the simpler answer is b.

I agree.

How many people in the world are there named Satoshi Nakamoto?

How many of the people named Satoshi Nakamoto have a background which perfectly fits being the creator of Bitcoin?

How many of the people named Satoshi Nakamoto have a family that believes they could have created Bitcoin?



He probably used his real name because Bitcoin started off as more of an academic exercise than anything.  He felt anonymous because he was posting on an obscure online forum like Ross Ulbricht did.

There is no way he was thinking Bitcoin would go beyond an academic exercise into a global phenomenon that turned him into a global celebrity.


As for the age thing, how many 40+ year olds do you know that jokingly say they're 38 or 39?
