repercussions? None that I know of. But this letter looks to be setting the stage for some legal action against Newsweek.
She re-launched Newsweek in print, though, so presumably she got lots of hoped-for money.

#5I've said before the Newsweek story makes no sense. In order to believe it, you need to think this guy hatched a brilliant plan to protect his identity (after 5 years of successfully doing so) by acting like a clueless old man and calling Bitcoin "bitcom."
And simultaneously you have to believe, during the execution of his brilliant plan, he goofed and unambiguously confessed to his involvement in Bitcoin.

Interviewee: "I did not say this."
Interviewer: "Here's the email / audio as proof."

#8Despite having a background in engineering, Nakamoto notes that he couldn’t find a programmer’s job for over a decade.
I get the sense that lots of 20-somethings in SV/Bay Area just don't think middle aged Asian men are capable of programming. (Middle aged Asian man.)

We are talking about the anonymous person behind Bitcoin. I would put absolutely NOTHING past the original architect. Honestly, I would expect nothing else.
