Newsweek Editor-in-Chief: We Stand by Our Bitcoin Story

You know the elderly guy who supposedly invented Bitcoin? Well, he doesn't speak English very well, and he claims that the whole thing is a misunderstanding.

Turns out he just bit into a coin to see if it was chocolate.

Sorry.

The real story:

“It sounded like I was involved before with Bitcoin and looked like I’m not involved now,” he told the AP. “That’s not what I meant.” Instead, he meant to say that he no longer worked on engineering projects with the U.S. government.

Newsweek's Goodman, in a statement to the AP, disagreed: “There was no confusion whatsoever about the context of our conversation—and his acknowledgment of his involvement in Bitcoin.”
