It seems like Newsweek Magazine solved the biggest puzzle of Bitcoin by revealing the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. According to the news week reporter, He is 64-year-old Japanese-American, lives in Californian with a love of math, encryption and model trains. He has done classified work for major corporations and the U.S. military. Surprisingly he didn’t own a fancy car and he drives a Silver Toyota Corolla CE. Following is the real picture of Satoshi Nakamoto.

According to McGrath Goodman, Satoshi accepted that he played a role in the development of bitcoin in initial phase, but not anymore.

am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss it, he told the reporter. It’s been turned over to other people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have any connection.

Newsweek reporter tracked Nakamoto down through a company he used to buy components of model trains. He gets the parts from Japan and England, he has been working with model trains since his teens and he does the machining himself.

A lot of bitcoiners are objecting so strongly because of the invasion of privacy of a man who clearly didn’t want to be revealed. In fact news week reporter published his current address thus posing the life of Mr. Nakamoto at risk since he is believed to have possession  of  Bitcoins worth 400 Million $.
