And I asked him a few questions about, whether or not it was true, and he said, I cannot talk about that. Im not connected with it anymore. The exact quote is in the story. And I reasserted, We are talking about Bitcoin here, correct? And he said, Yes, but he went on the say that he would not elaborate at all or answer questions. And, in addition, my last question to him was, If you are in anyway not connected, you need to tell me now, and he said, I cannot do that.

You all realize that the credibility of Leah McGrath Goodman is 0% ?

Currently she's pointing to someone unknown claiming that the police officers could back up the story...

According to this link, one of the officers 'vaguely' knew about bitcoin. And knowing the average intelligence of a police officer in the US, and how often they 'cannot' recall events, or 'do not remember' events, I would not trust them or McGrath at all.

To give any credibility to the story, why's there no audio recording or video recording to back everything up. An investigative journalist for a tabloid magazine that thinks we should take her words at face value?

Even worse than the shitty journalism is the fact that she doesn't seem to back off on anything. What about just admitting to the fact that she fucked up? It's unlikely that she did find Satoshi, but in the event that she did, it did not justify outing him like this, printing a picture of his car with a license plate that was not blurred, a picture of the house, and the location(?). She tried to put the blame on the magazine for these errors, but hell, if you're a good journalist, you demand to see everything that's in the article BEFORE it hits the presses.

Is she a Christian? If she is, somebody please tell her she's going straight to hell. That woman is seriously mentally deranged.
