Nope. I say p~=10%.

  • The Newsweek article mentions that there are several people named Satoshi Nakamoto
  • No evidence that Dorian Nakamoto programs or has programmed
  • The reporter tells a straightforwardly false narrative of when and why Bitcoin Satoshi left, which makes me think she's not honest in general
  • Bitcoin Satoshi was privacy conscious from the beginning, as evidenced by using vistomail for his email address and registered bitcoin.org through a proxy
  • The only writing sample of Dorian Nakamoto I've seen (an email about model trains) is a mismatch
  • Dorian Nakamoto is old
  • Dorian Nakamoto isn't wealthy

The writing may have been done by another person. The original story was that Satoshi Nakamoto is an unknown, positive number of people; is that a worse hypothesis now?
