Wow almost $10,000 already ?

I'll be donating as well!

It feels good just to do something nice.  Whoever this guy is, it's a nice thing being done for him. Either as a thank you or a sorry gesture.

If Dorian is Satoshi and has not lost access to his stash and distributes the stash as broadly as possible* then I will pledge at least 1 BTC converted to fiat if desired to Satoshi or anything he likes.

If Dorian is not Satoshi and is instead some random guy who got caught up in the mess, I'll help out as the situation evolves.

(*) especially to Americans since the U.S. is the dominant world power and pressure on the legislative and legal systems of that country would have the most leverage.  OTOH, focusing on producing public pressure in Russia or China could be equally or more beneficial from a strategic perspective.  OTOOH, I see some benefit to have the Satoshi hoard be of ambiguous nature although the U.S. Govt's hoard is probably bigger that this time especially when combine with the Winklevoss hoard.

If he is the real Satoshi or not, he is a man of principle and money/bitcoin is not the most important thing in his life. Leave the man alone. I know it is hard for most of you to believe that some people do not put money first in their life. He likes his privacy. If you ask him, he would tell you to keep your damn charity. He does not want or need your handout. Maybe you should just ask him first so you do not insult him.

He is! he has enough bitcoin, about 500K BTC, any donation is worse for him, he need a normal life with deep think and keep heart quiet and move on the next project. please do not use that to disturb him again.

I don't know, he was quick to demand a free lunch.

Haha, this. First thing he does is to sell the interview to the reporter with the lunch.

Dorian Nakamoto is going to be a whale after this, regardless if he's the REAL Satoshi Nakamoto

Perhaps it can go to his family members?

It is pretty clear what will happen to the funds if he does not want them.

Man I wish that was my bitcoin address. You can almost watch the number of transactions increase in real time. 

[casinocoin]

So now Dorian is involved with bitcoins.

That he is, he's got more BTC then me already!

[Omega0255]

That's one way to make 11000 dollars in 2 hours 

[boomertoo]

transactions are chugging right along on the blockchain .

This is very cool, a very good indication of the depth of the bitcoin community.

Not just that, the guy already lost his house once coz he couldn't afford to make the payments.

some douchebag changed the correct addy in his post, proving yet again that escaping dumb assholes is impossible. 

I'd suggest going to the reddit page and following that link if there is any confusion.

To be fair the argument was that this event which happened some time ago, and getting rooked on international wires for his train hobby produced incentive to work on Bitcoin.  That certainly seems plausible to me.  If the story about him calling an interviewer an idiot during a job interview (and getting the job) is true then he is probably the kind of person who would be inclined to seek revenge for these injustices in a novel and effective way.

As for demanding a free lunch, that could easily be written off as a joke.  I was just involved in a six figure property deal and made it a point to demand a couple of quarters.  The absurdity of the situation is what made amusing.  Anyway, it is both fair that he get a free lunch for his hassles, and quite possible that he never took a dime from Bitcoin out of principle or for tactical reasons.  If Dorian is even Satoshi in the first place that is.
