The bombshell article, which was written by journalist Leah McGrath Goodman, alleged that Japanese-American man Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto was the elusive creator of the world’s first cryptocurrency. The fact that the man had worked on classified defense projects as a systems engineer gave more credence to the story.
