So the more we as a community bother and hound him the more money he will make in the lawsuit?

If I was him, I'd sue too.

I wonder if he will actually go forward with a lawsuit. If he does, it will definitely be uncovered if he is actually the Satoshi Nakamoto that Newsweek claims. It would be pretty idiotic of him to go forward with a lawsuit, if it is in fact him...

It would be pretty dumb regardless. He has very little to sue over. Unless he is a completely private individual whose seclusion has been invaded, he has nothing.

You are not "defamed" by basically being outed as a genius who created a world-changing technology. How does this make you look bad?

If he is a private individual, he probably has a cause of action for something like invasion of privacy or negligent infliction of emotional distress, which let's face it, are really pussy causes of action. Who the fuck sues over shit like that other than some special snowflake?

Also, whether or not he's "the" Satoshi (and I am really thinking that story is bullshit at this point) he has taught me a valuable life lesson. If you are ever being interviewed by some asshole, DEMAND A FREE LUNCH. I am definitely doing this if it ever happens to me.

Pussy causes of action? Jesus Christ.

The old guy is being hounded by press and media attention, just because that might not be difficult for you doesn't mean it isn't for him.
