could be australia, no? probably the deadzone is a bigger tell than where he posted. Ostralia is about UTC +10h? no posts between 4 and 8am is believable.

And you've missed the point where lives have been ruined and people could potentially be killed as a result of this nonsense.
Lives have not been ruined. In my opinion Newsweek owes Dorian Nakamoto some damages, but that will be decided in the courts. His life is not ruined, though, and nobody else's has been. That's way over-dramatic.
Here is an Amazon comment left by Wright. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVvsxDOVAAANOD-.png:large "Silicone" Valley? "Assumed to the centre of everything"? Color me skeptical that this guy is Satoshi. (source: https://twitter.com/kashhill/status/674393417019883520 )
Exhibit A (https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf)
This paper, and the technology it proposes, are as eloquent and ingenious as they come.
Exhibit B (from one of Wright's blog posts in the Wired exposé) "Well.. e-gold is down the toilet."
The telltale 2 dot ellipsis... Imagining this semi-literate blowhard writing that paper is a real stretch.
Once again, you have a journalist ruining a person's life by claiming they created BitCoin. Wired better be able to back it up.
If Wright isn't Satoshi, someone has gone to great lengths to fabricate a trail pointing to him -- and the evidence points to Wright himself building the case. I suspect that ATO raids have less to do with his "outing" than his outing has to do with the raids. After all, "ATO raids Bitcoin magnate" doesn't whip up much sympathy, but "ATO raids inventor of Bitcoin?" Ah, now we're talking above the fold news.
I hadn't had the chance to read the article until now, and it's nothing like the Newsweek "expose."
"I do not want to be your posterboy. I am not found and I do not want to be." Why oh why can't journalists just respect his wishes! "People love my secret identity and hate me." It certainly seems that the Australian police aren't on particularly good terms with him at the moment. If the Australian government takes control of the Tulip Trust bitcoin stash, the world has to deal with a cryptocurrency being managed by…
If Satoshi really wanted to realise the value from his bitcoin holdings without being subject to a huge amount of tax he/she/they would ideally relocate to Germany where the tax office has said that if you hold them for over 1 year there is no capital gains tax (or equivalent) to pay. That this guy was looking to move to the UK, where banks have been quite wary of bitcoin, (although the bank of england has not) is an…

(EDIT: There are some good points in the ensuing discussion below. I don't know what to think yet, but my comment here was unfair. Sorry, kanzure. And thank you to everyone who responded.) As far as I can tell, you're bullying gwern. Please stop. If you have a point, then make it clearly. Leave out speculation about "what would happen if it was a US no-knock raid." What, precisely, did gwern do? Their replies address…
Gwern has a long history of obsessive and misdirected behavior on this subject which is likely to cause harm to others. This particular case is Gwern's N-th accused "satoshi"... and this time the evidence consists mostly of counter evidence. For example, these pgp signed emails are signed with the key with short ID 5EB7CB21 which is not the well known key, does not exist in old keyserver dumps, and has a pref-hash-al…
Such as your public and forceful "rebuking", in an authoritarian manner, of the then revelations, with evidence, that gox had 200k btc, which latter of course was shown to be true and showed that you were in no way rebuking anything, but abusing your position.
One would think you would have learned and keep your mouth until the dust is settled and you are in a better position to judge, but it seems that you like far too much making authoritarian, seemingly conclusive when not warranted, proclamations instead.
That is not to say, of course, that this guy may not be satoshi, but I'd take care hours after the announcement especially if I was in your position.

If you believe that gwern has done something to warrant this criticism, I would really love to understand that. Does gwern's reply on Reddit address what you just wrote? And as I pointed out in my subsequent replies which you have left out, I am perfectly aware that PGP public key metadata (not pgp.mit.edu timestamps, since the keyservers are only reading what the keys say!) can be backdated at creation, and this is…
Basically every piece of evidence that can falsified in this case is falsified. The PGP key used to sign the emails: Backdated with almost complete certainty. The blog posts? edited in 2013 to include the 'bitcoin hints'. What is more likely: Someone who is Bitcoin's creator in hiding, went and created a pile of provably falsified information that they were Bitcoin's creator, plus left some circumstantial evidence th…

Agreed... Exhibit A ( https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf ) This paper, and the technology it proposes, are as eloquent and ingenious as they come. Exhibit B (from one of Wright's blog posts in the Wired exposé) "Well.. e-gold is down the toilet." The telltale 2 dot ellipsis...
