The thing that most people ignored about the Newsweek article was that the author deliberately took the pivotal quote "I am no longer involved in that..." out of context by not specifying what it was referring to.
Remember that Dorian S. Nakamoto was a contractor who worked on many government projects. It's likely he was asked on that and answered, then had his words deliberately misconstrued to imply that "that" referred to Bitcoin.
Then we had the P2P Foundation Satoshi deny that he was Dorian, breaking a 5-year silence to do so. Of course, it is unknown if it is the exact Satoshi Nakamoto of Bitcoin, or someone hijacked the account, or some member of the hypothetical pseudonymous Satoshi collective, but the email did match up with the one in the original Bitcoin paper.
At this point, Satoshi being Dorian is pretty much debunked, really.
