I agree with you, but would temper it very slightly by saying that a man with a $400m fortune has some options here. That doesn't make it right and his wealth

That doesn't make it right and his wealth doesn't make him free game but it does mean that he's not completely been hung out to dry.
- unreal37 13y agoWhat if he doesn't have a $400m fortune? What if it never existed or he's destroyed the private keys? There's no proof here he has "money".
- ewoodrich 13y agoUsing any of his Bitcoin would attract far more attention than any dubiously sourced article though, and could risk proving both that he is Satoshi and still has access to an enormous amount of money. (For all we know right now he could have lost/destroyed all of his private keys).
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoThey haven't presented any evidence. The Satoshi they found sounds like a plausible Satoshi but is it really him? If he is the real Satoshi he may have lost or discarded his private keys. Some snarky comment about how this is why bloggers aren't journalists because a "real" news organization has ethics or something.

- TeMPOraL 13y ago> Some snarky comment about how this is why bloggers aren't journalists because a "real" news organization has ethics or something. Honestly, I always thought it was the other way around. This situation only confirms that.
- fnordfnordfnord 13y agoI should have said snarky and ironic.
- Tyrannosaurs 13y agoNewsweek was sold recently and it's not the publication it used to be.
