He gave an interview to AP. He denies everything.

Yeah but he basically flatly contradicts the statements he supposedly gave to Newsweek. This story just keeps on getting weirder and weirder...

But the guy wrote an important (to some) paper/specification and used his real name, and then acts like his privacy is so important (in that very community no less).

Small correction: Five years ago, the guy wrote a specification that eventually became important.

Hindsight is 20/20. It is easy to say now what he should have done. But predicting what'll come back and bite you on the butt 5 years from now isn't necessarily easy.

Then, and this drives me nuts when my wife does it, by making a further big deal of not wanting to answer questions, etc, it only further raises curiosity.

*shrug* How many high-end geeks and intellectuals fail to understand how to negotiate human communications smoothly?

You do not think that the current popularity of bitcoin were not his* intentions?

*If he did invent it.
