"In an exclusive two-hour interview with The Associated Press, Dorian S. Nakamoto, 64, said he had never heard of Bitcoin until his son told him he had been contacted by a reporter three weeks ago," reports the AP's Ryan Nakashima.
In a feature for Newsweek, reporter Leah McGrath Goodman said that she had contacted the man behind Bitcoin, the controversial digital crypto-currency spreading across the world. Her investigation led to a 64-year-old Japanese-American father of six who lives in a single-family home in Southern California.
"I don't have any doubt in my mind," said Goodman when our Rob Wile asked her if she really believed Nakamoto was indeed the founder of Bitcoin.
