Thats not confirming her story. Its about the quote in the story being correct. Which does not mean Dorian was talking about bitcoin as Leah claimed.

So you are basically claiming that the Sheriff's office is intentionally misleading the public here? I am pretty sure that the Sheriff's deputies were fully aware whether Dorian understood Bitcoin being discussed or not, otherwise they would not have made the statement.

You have reading comprehensive skill? read the fcking link again .

“Both sheriff’s deputies agreed that the quotes published in the March 6, 2014, Newsweek magazine Bitcoin article that were attributed to the resident and to one of the deputies were accurate.”

You have reading comprehensive skill? read the fcking link again.

You have understanding comprehensive skill? If I say that the Sheriff's deputies corroborate her story what else could it mean besides that the Sheriff's deputies corroborate the quotes? And as said, a recording would not make any difference, as if somebody is not willing to believe the Sheriff's deputies they would not believe a recording either.

A big flaw in your logic, hence you dont understand crap about legitimacy of the story.

Seems to me there is no fucking way this guy is Satoshi.

His English is poor, as proven by his online presence om Amazon, on train websites etc. Satoshi's English is impeccable. Or maybe he spent years online faking bad English so if a reporters turned up on his doorstep and people looked into his history they would think he wasn't Satosho...... Ever heard of occams razor?.


He refers to Bitcom, he says 'I've never worked with that company, i don't know anything about them'.

With regard to Leah's confrontation.

He has worked with classified projects with the government, he was clearly scared, that's why he called the police, she asked him about it, he assumed she was talking about one of the classified projects he worked on, he said he can't talk about it.

Some ppl dont even have a clue regarding audio recording law. If you're part of the conversation (which she was), you dont need to have a consent to record the conversation.

Those people apparently include you among their ranks.  That only applies in what are called "one party consent" states.  California law requires consent from all parties.  More than one person has done time for their ignorance of the law.

His poor "amazon english" vs his perfect "bitcointalk english" is a poor argument imo.

My english are poor when it comes to speaking and posting casually in a forum, but if i had to
write a paper and add credibility to a project of mine through the use of proper english, i would have been
double checking and proofreading my texts.

I don't think that anyone ever communicated with Satoshi in real time.

i do not think that dorian is satoshi- or he is really keyser soze.

but one thing from his perspective does not add up for me: how likely do you think is it that your name is dorian satoshi nakamoto and you never heard of bitcoin? as a tech savvy educated/academic person? do you reallly think she is the first person who confronted him with bitcoin?

Loads of IRC chats.

The thing is, his poor English on the train forums, Amazon etc is not just lazy. It's a basic lack of comprehension of the rules.

So he was doing a contract for FAA, if he has never heard about "Bitcoin", he might mistook the pronunciation for "Boeing".

And I asked him a few questions about, whether or not it was true, and he said, ‘I cannot talk about that. I’m not connected with it anymore.’ The exact quote is in the story. And I reasserted, ‘We are talking about Bitcoin here, correct?’ And he said, ‘Yes,’ but he went on the say that he would not elaborate at all or answer questions. And, in addition, my last question to him was, ‘If you are in anyway not connected, you need to tell me now,’ and he said, ‘I cannot do that.’”

You all realize that the credibility of Leah McGrath Goodman is 0% ?

Currently she's pointing to someone unknown claiming that the police officers could back up the story...

According to this link, one of the officers 'vaguely' knew about bitcoin. And knowing the average intelligence of a police officer in the US, and how often they 'cannot' recall events, or 'do not remember' events, I would not trust them or McGrath at all.

To give any credibility to the story, why's there no audio recording or video recording to back everything up. An investigative journalist for a tabloid magazine that thinks we should take her words at face value?

Even worse than the shitty journalism is the fact that she doesn't seem to back off on anything. What about just admitting to the fact that she fucked up? It's unlikely that she did find Satoshi, but in the event that she did, it did not justify outing him like this, printing a picture of his car with a license plate that was not blurred, a picture of the house, and the location(?). She tried to put the blame on the magazine for these errors, but hell, if you're a good journalist, you demand to see everything that's in the article BEFORE it hits the presses.

Is she a Christian? If she is, somebody please tell her she's going straight to hell. That woman is seriously mentally deranged.
