Satoshi Nakamoto denies creating Bitcoin (video)

A pack of "corpse flies" (to use my favourite Margaret Atwood term for members of my profession) actually chased 64-year-old Satoshi Nakamoto around Los Angeles today (March 6), after Newsweek reported that the California resident is the inventor of Bitcoin.

At one point, Nakamoto took the time to publicly deny being "involved" with the digital currency.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin core developer Jeff Garzik wrote a blog post on the Bitcoin Foundation site, stating: "As of this writing, we have seen zero conclusive evidence that the identified person is the designer of Bitcoin."
