mikeash raises the right questions. In Dorian Nakamoto's lengthy interview with the AP, he says that his quote arose in a totally different context. He was explaining that he doesn't do classified work for the military any more. Different subject. Not Bitcoin. I've been the guy with the notepad, tape recorder, etc. for a lot of years, and I'm well aware of cases where the reporter thinks he/she is asking one question, and the source believes that he/she is hearing a different one. If the Newsweek team had recorded the brief interview with Dorian, we'd have a way of sorting this out. But -- for reasons I can't understand -- it doesn't seem as if they bothered recording it.
