anyone remember this? In 2011, they did like 5 page investigative piece trying to find Satoshi Nakamoto's true identity.

I love how they are trying to play dumb now when they were the ones that originally crossed the lines.

That article is explicitly linked in the current article (see "Joshua Davis wrote about the search for Nakamoto in 2011"). If they were "trying to play dumb", they probably would not have mentioned it.

it took them 5 days to publish an article regarding it though and the fact that Newsweek was able to get a lead so quick (not saying it's the right guy) seems they like didn't do due diligence in the first place, I asked the author of The New Yorker piece for comment on the recent developments.
