Satoshi Nakamoto Revealed - Reluctant Bitcoin Inventor Revealed

Leah McGrath Goodman of Newsweek has shocked the Bitcoin world by revealing the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto in an article that is due out on the newsstands but currently available online here.

If you have ever looked into Bitcoin you have undoubtedly heard the story that the inventor of Bitcoin was a secretive unknown entity that goes by the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. 

Opinions on who the real Satoshi was ranged from some wunderkind in Japan to the CIA to....well you get the picture.

If Ms. Goodman is correct, it turns out that Satoshi Nakamoto is actually Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto, a 64 year old Japanese American living in Temple City, California a middle class suburb of Los Angeles with a population of 36,000.  He lives in a modest home, drives a clunker, and is passionate about model trains.


Newsweek's article lays out that Satoshi wants very little to do with Bitcoin these days and has no interest in being a public figure, to the point that most of his family did not know of his involvement.

When confronted by Ms. Goodman and asked of his role in the Bitcoin project, she claims Satoshi "Tacitly acknowledging" his role, then gave this quote:
I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it, it's been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection.
He refused to say anymore...
