- Steko 13y agoMaybe he wants a pony too, why should anyone give a shit?

- Steko 13y agoI missed the ethics class where we decided to give the superrich whatever they want.
- VMG 13y agoYou also missed the class where you should have learned that human rights are universal and are not diminished by being wealthy. It's also the wrong guy by the way.
- Steko 13y agoBecause asking a (possible) rich guy a question is a huge violation of his human rights.
- dinkumthinkum 13y agoYou actually have a good point but the first was a bit mean and a little much.
- VMG 13y agoNo, it's perfectly legal but unethical. In the words of Lebowski: It's not wrong, it's being an asshole.
- Steko 13y agoThe reporters that camped outside of Bernie Madoff's house were assholes too, the way Madoff tells it. Being an asshole =/= unethical. Make a real argument that it's unethical.
- bertil 13y agoYou are attacking a retired engineer who lives a zen-like life in a suburban McMansion, after a brain accident because he can get “whatever [he] want?” Really?
- nooron 13y agoYou think that it would be the polite thing to do for reporters not to pursue him. I agree with you. I think where we differ is with the respect to the obligation of journalists. Journalists are in the business of finding out information that's useful for an open democratic society in making decisions. If this person might be the genuine Satoshi, then it stands to reason he might offer useful information or a new perspective on Bitcoin or money in general. Thus I think to not pursue this story as a journalist would be a violation of j-ethics.
