I guess, if you can verify that there was communication by from the Satoshi Nakamoto account around the timeframe where he claims to be hospitalised (october 2012 and october 2013), it will be less likely that Dorian has bitcoin involvement.
Satoshi stopped communicating to the public (at least qua Satoshi) back in 2011. So that's not going to happen.
"My prospects for gainful employment has been harmed because of Newsweek's article" "I have retained legal counsel" Gearing up for a lawsuit, it seems. I'm not a lawyer so I have no idea if it would have merit. Presumably Newsweek didn't outright fabricate any of his quotes, but they may have misinterpreted them.
Libel laws in this country practically means he has no legal recourse. He would need to prove that Newsweek made the whole thing up, not merely that they misunderstood him.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you perhaps explain how he can get these $28,000 in physical dollars? That's not even getting into an irony of throwing Bitcoins at a person whose life has been just severely discomforted by the very same subject.
The guy collecting the BTC donations has said that he will convert the BTC into actual money then deliver them using commonly accepted methods for payment in the United States. Delivering $X0,000 is not a particularly novel problem in the US economy. There exist many very straightforward ways of solving it.
sounds like he's gearing up to sue Newsweek
Why is it so hard to find the real Satoshi? Is he using Tor to post messages, send emails?

What about posting pictures of his house? That seems like a huge invasion of privacy to me and it was completely gratuitous IMO.
For better or for worse[1], we have a very strong protections on speech in the US. Although the specifics need to be addressed by his lawyer, in general Dorian needs to prove Newsweek did wrong, and that's a tough hurdle. [1] I think "for better" but this is showing one of the sadder side effects.
The reporter that originally accused this dude of inventing bitcoin should get fired. 90+% of Newsweek readers will never see this tweet, and the original article is pretty speculative, so I don't know if it'll warrant a retraction. People hungry for bitcoin are probably going to come for Satoshi, and it won't be pretty.

"Presumably Newsweek didn't outright fabricate any of his quotes" You're not familiar with journalists are you. If they can't get anything quotable out of you, even something they can mis-quote, they will just outright make it up.
