In a story that keeps getting stranger, alleged bitcoin inventor Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto has categorically denied any role in the crypto currency’s founding – noting as part of his denial that he can no longer afford internet access.
“I have not been able to find steady work as an engineer or programmer for ten years. I have worked as a laborer, polltaker and substitute teacher. I discontinued my internet service in 2013 due to severe financial distress…” said Nakamoto in a release statement.
Nakamoto also noted that the Newsweek report that named him as bitcoin’s founder has hurt his chances at gainful employment in the future.
