Nakamoto, when I asked him in elevator why he told Newsweek he used to be involved with #bitcoin : "No no no I was never involved."
by Andrea Chang via twitter 3/6/2014 10:06:46 PM

He could be telling AP something entirely different, though.

Absolutely galling to see Redditors upset about the doxxing of the Bitcoin founder after their reveal of the Boston Massacre "suspect."

My favorite part of this whole Satoshi thing is that Bitcoin was literally created in some dude's mom's basement.

@TConspiracyChef @bitcoinowl That wouldn't end it for him. :( It would also be good on the long term for Bitcoin to re-distribute his coins.

#Nakamoto 's brother had a description of Satoshi. Apparently, from live reports, the characterization is right.

Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said they have been sending a car
to Nakamoto's home every few hours to make sure there are no problems.

Has Newsweek got it wrong? Among the evidence? Past suggestions that
the real Nakamoto's age is much younger than the one pictured above
and that his written English (based on various online postings and
letters to the editor) isn't particularly good. - @nickgillespie @reason http://reason.com/blog/2014/03/06/bitcoins-creator-revealed-actually-is-a

How Newsweek came upon the alleged bitcoin founder: It was only while scouring a database that contained the registration
cards of naturalized U.S. citizens that a Satoshi Nakamoto turned up
whose profile and background offered a potential match. But it was not
until after ordering his records from the National Archives and
conducting many more interviews that a cohesive picture began to take
shape. - Senior Writer Leah McGrath Goodman
