If he is the real Satoshi or not, he is a man of principle and money/bitcoin is not the most important thing in his life. Leave the man alone. I know it is hard for most of you to believe that some people do not put money first in their life. He likes his privacy. If you ask him, he would tell you to keep your damn charity. He does not want or need your handout. Maybe you should just ask him first so you do not insult him.

I don't know, he was quick to demand a free lunch.

Not just that, the guy already lost his house once coz he couldn't afford to make the payments.

To be fair the argument was that this event which happened some time ago, and getting rooked on international wires for his train hobby produced incentive to work on Bitcoin. That certainly seems plausible to me. If the story about him calling an interviewer an idiot during a job interview (and getting the job) is true then he is probably the kind of person who would be inclined to seek revenge for these injustices in a novel and effective way.

As for demanding a free lunch, that could easily be written off as a joke. I was just involved in a six figure property deal and made it a point to demand a couple of quarters. The absurdity of the situation is what made amusing. Anyway, it is both fair that he get a free lunch for his hassles, and quite possible that he never took a dime from Bitcoin out of principle or for tactical reasons. If Dorian is even Satoshi in the first place that is.
