We're talking about a man who doesn't have the Internet at his home (but uses public library computers), a home who writes this kind of email (http://i.imgur.com/DB4oq5s.png http://i.imgur.com/DB4oq5s.png), a man with no previous experience with cryptography or economics theory, a man who stated: "I have never communicated with bitcoins". Did this man create the first distributed digital cryptocurrency? No. Instead, here's what happened: Newsweek senior writer Leah McGrath Goodman went scouring a database that contained the registration cards of naturalized U.S. citizens (for the record, Nakamoto is the ~400th most common Japanese name). "A Satoshi Nakamoto" then turned up who had a physics/engineering background. She interviewed the man's family, fabricated a few quotes implying involvement with Bitcoin (or took the quotes out of context, which is equivalent), and published a clickbait story destroying the man's privacy. That's it.
