"A Newsweek article earlier this month claimed to have found the mystery man behind the crypto-currency Bitcoin. However, that very man, Dorian Nakamoto, has now hired a lawyer to unconditionally deny that he's involved in Bitcoin.\r\n\r\nIn a statement sent to Reuters blogger\u00A0Felix Salmon via Ethan Kirschner, Dorian Nakamoto\u2019s lawyer in Los Angeles, Nakamoto calls the Newsweek report &amp;quot;false&amp;quot; and says the first time he heard the word 'Bitcoin' was in February this year. He says that his Internet service has already been cut off in 2013 due to &amp;quot;severe financial distress&amp;quot; and adds that his prospects for employment have been affected by the article.\r\nDorian Nakamoto official statement/denial. Very interested to see how @newsweek @truth_eater @jimpoco respond. pic.twitter.com/wfCyK1dQ48\r\n\r\n\u2014 felix salmon (@felixsalmon) March 17, 2014\r\nWell, all that remains is to see what Newsweek comes up with to defend its story (or maybe acknowledge it could be wrong after all). What's for sure is that the trail for the creator of Bitcoin seems to have gone cold with this firm denial from Nakamoto.\r\n\r\nThumbnail image via Josep Lago/AFP/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
