It's something straight out of a tech blogger's fever dream: A print magazine comes back from the dead to announce it's found the creator of Bitcoin. Journalists respond with their best reenactment of the OJ Simpson chase. The alleged Bitcoin creator denies any involvement with the crypto-currency. The "real" creator of Bitcoin reemerges to state as much.
Oy. Pass the Advil. Join us as we relive the confusing, twisting tale of Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto.
Thursday morning: As part of its grand return to print, Newsweek publishes a massive, 4600-word piece in which it claims to expose the person who first created Bitcoin. Bitcoin watchers always presumed that "Satoshi Nakamoto" was only a pseudonym that the Bitcoin creator—or creators—used, but Newsweek tracked it back to Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, a 64-year-old man living in Southern California. Newsweek even received what seemed to be a tacit admission from Dorian. Case closed... or so it seemed.
Redditors, as Poynter noted, were none too happy to learn about the Newsweek story.
Later Thursday morning: Cue the obligatory media circus. As the Los Angeles Times reported, journalists swarmed Dorian's home, hoping to get a glimpse of the elusive "face behind Bitcoin"—and maybe, just maybe, get a scoop of their own.
Thursday, around lunchtime: Dorian emerges from his home... and according to an Instagram video from BuzzFeed reporter Hunter Schwarz, he proceeds to deny everything. He doesn't answer any questions from the mob of reporters. Instead, he asks for a free lunch, and according to Joe Bel Bruno of the LA Times, cherry picks a reporter from the Associated Press, who later interviews him.
