Dorian already confirmed he said this quote, so this entire piece is just repeating what has already been said. The press shows us time and time again they are very good at repeating things, even though they may not be based in fact. The primary point at hand is the context in which it was said. Given the data at hand and in order to determine the likely truth, we have to weigh the possibilities of the two scenarios and determine which is more plausible: - Dorian is the Satoshi Nakamoto and he made a slight error in making this statement to the reporter before cutting off all communications and then going public about it to quell it. - Dorian is not Satoshi and thought it best to say he wasn't involved in whatever it was she wanted to get her out of his hair and then was thrust into the limelight further and must deny he's the inventor of Bitcoin. Given Dorian's history with top secret work, the most likely scenario is the later of the two. Getting the reporter out his hair is most effected by complete dismissal of anything he was ever associated with. It would be a reasonable assumption by Norian that the reporter wanted to ask him something about top secret things he worked on. She's at his house, isn't she? Additionally, if he was just plain ol' Norian, he wouldn't be thinking of the repercussions of this 'admission' through dismissal. On the other hand, If he was Satoshi, it is likely he would never make this type statement - knowing full well the repercussions of making such a statement to the press, no matter how slight. She's there about Bitcoin. Why would he admit he worked on it only to be driven to deny it later to the AP? Newsweek is doing this for a reason. What that reason is is yet to be determined. While it might be simply to get more eyeballs, I think there might be a bit more to the story. What that is, I have no idea. Speaking of hair, I think that Goodman had more emotion while talking about Dorian's messy hair than the actual 'admission'. That's a tell there's biases involved. What's driving them is the question.
