You're thinking of the Enquirer.

Holy shit. Yeah, you are right.

In that case, it could be true, and I would draw everyone's attention to this extract from the article:

Quote

the trail followed by Newsweek led to a 64-year-old Japanese-American man whose name really is Satoshi Nakamoto. He is someone with a penchant for collecting model trains and a career shrouded in secrecy, having done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military.

Been saying it for months. Bitcoin aint against The Man, it came from The Man.

I have also thought that maybe bitcoin was originally created to track and map a part of the black market. When cash is actually hard to track, then create a digital currency that is "safe and untraceable" for all kinds of illegal activities. Honeypots like these wouldn't be created to actually convict criminals, but to map their activity so you can create strategies according to that information. Same thing could be used to fund certain things that's funding needs to be more under the radar.
I don't know if "The Man" created bitcoin, but I know that they surely would have good use for it.

I might be wrong but big (..)organizations will not/never resort to BTC, they do pay in cash for those kinda services.
BTC is for individuals. so if the man is behind it then he is tracking you. which i'am still not 100% buying

I agree that big criminal organizations deal in more refined ways then BTC, but it's harder to track the little guys. You can track and map the dealings with HSBC, but with bitcoin, you could also map those who are lower in the food-chain. The more information you have, the better it is to plan your strategies.
Anyway, it's just a theory, but it makes sense to me.

so it's by design for the lower in the food chain aka you/any Joe
