Or was that a case of mistaken identity?
It was a pathetic case of journalism. Dorian Nakamoto, the guy in California, was an engineer who hadn’t even heard of bitcoin. I saw some of his personal emails and he had poor writing skills and an uncertain thought process. By contrast Satoshi’s writing was always excellent and displayed clear and confident reasoning abilities.
The Newsweek journalist never even provided an evidence that Dorian had the necessary skillset in cryptography - she just pointed to the fact that he was an engineer with an unknown background on secret government projects.
Why would he be “caught?”
