Whether Dorian is Satoshi or not, this man's privacy was violated.

Please join me in boycotting the businesses that fund this behavior by advertising with Newsweek.  I will refuse to do business with any company that advertises with Newsweek until Newsweek has apologized and compensated Dorian for this disgusting invasion of his privacy and potentially putting him in danger.

You read Newsweak?  Isn't that your parent's or grandparent's magazine?

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!

Not routinely, but I did read the article on Dorian Nakamoto.  AFAIK, my parents and grandparents don't read / never read it routinely either.

I agree, Newsweek showed they are very irresponsable.  Shame on them.  Boycott them, great idea.

Maybe Newsweek is trying to save themselves from dying?  Grotesque way of doing so however.  Even if it WERE to be the "real Satoshi".

Watch out, your house is already visible from the side-walk and most likely the road that runs by it.
Your house is already on google maps and any other geo-surveillance site, too.

The big brother is already watching you.

the newsweek, wanted to find the most biggest story in the world to kick start their newspaper, back into print.

... first story they print, leaves their reputation in pieces. no physical evidence, just opinions and hearsay from a reporter.

i would truly love to hear a soundbyte or a video recording of the quotes that leah says he said.

... oh wait there is none. just her word as a journalist with a history of lying

It's the advertisers that I'm boycotting.  I'll change the title of the OP from "Boycott Newsweek" to "Boycott Newsweek's Advertisers".

Their magazine has been out of print for over a year, so I doubt too many people subscribe to their service.  I think most people get their news online for "free" and that most of that "free" news is funded with advertising.

I understand it just fine.  But  serious bitcoin community is small and people that are mad about Dorian is even smaller.  And people that are willing to actually boycott for this , smaller still... You're gonna ask them not to do business with 50 companies ? Ok...not gonna debate.

50 companies out of 500,000+?

Doesn't strike me as impossible, friend.
