I think it's time the very thing that has caused disruption in this mans life should come full circle and help him. If we could setup or arrange a legitimate btc account for this guy, would be nice if the community would throw a bunch of btc at him for his troubles. I know I would.

Sorry for not going by the trend of denying Dorian to be Satoshi. Me too is a supporter of Satoshi staying anonymous. But a Q is haunting me...
Dorian claims he had to cut off internet for financial condition. But then, how did he continue his train collecting passion, where he has to import it from different country ?

Public libraries, places with free wifi, internet cafes, ... Plenty of options that are cheaper for occasional internet access than having a fixed line.

Newsweek has responded... Newsweek has not received any statement or letter from either Mr. Nakamoto or his legal counsel. If and when we do, we will respond as necessary. Source: https://twitter.com/Newsweek/status/445606231479025665

In a way, the Blockchain is like a train that keeps adding cars, each one filled with a set of transactions.
Not saying Dorian invented it (I'm on the fence), but thinking about model trains has helped me imagine how someone might approach inventing something like the Blockchain.
Out of curiosity, if he's lying about not being involved (hypothetically speaking), are there any legal repercussions for him making a public statement that is completely deceptive?
Seems like someone could deny something without technically breaking the law, so I'm not convinced by the legal letter, by itself, although some of the other arguments showing why he's not the guy (like Mike Hearn's post) are very convincing.
Also, everyone seems to assume that it's a binary question, that Dorian either WAS or WASN'T Satoshi, but it seems very possible to me that SN was a cadre of people working on the issue, and Dorian was just one member of a team of people.
Personally, if I was the guy who invented it, I'd very much like to have someone else write the paper!

I asked myself that same thing! I'm not a lawyer but I don't think there can be any legal repercussion. To get in trouble for blatantly lying in public, when not under oath, it has to affect someone else directly. So, for example, you can't commit libel/slander which is defamation of someone (actually might apply to Newsweek against Dorian).

What is most disturbing here is that this identity confusion has disturbed his personal life.

Maybe I'm an optimist, but I feel that in the long run, this will be a positive thing for Dorian.
It's clear he's had some tension in his life, and some difficulty relating to people, and now he has a community of thousands of people that have affection for him, regardless of whether he's the "real Satoshi" or not.
The positive vibes of thousands of people being directed at a man with a difficult life can't help but be a good thing, in the long run, in my opinion.

This is reality. I wish the donations actually reaches his hand and he actually accepts them !!!

Newsweek has apparently gone the way of US Magazine and the Enquirer etc. I haven't read the Newsweek article but I see he has legal counsel. I wouldn't be surprised to see him sue Newsweek particularly if it really has hurt his job search. However 46 Bitcoin may help him find a little light from his experience!

If this isn't prove that these guys are total cunts I don't know what is, the least they could do is apologise, but I suspect they're another of these news organisations that think they're doing 'gods' work by stalking and harassing people.
