He has been living in US for more than 50 years; longer than I've been alive. He is also a Libertarian, a political position extremely rare in Japan. He appears to be totally Americanized with little trace of his former culture. His behavior is extremely similar to other people who turned out to have something to hide.


You have to admire the ingenuity and effort that went into not only blustering after the fact, but also creating the public portrait of "Dorian" the immigrant who'd never fully grasped the use of apostrophes, pluralization or indefinite articles whilst simultaneously privately corresponding in immaculate idiomatic English as "Satoshi". By the looks of those Amazon reviews and messages to editors there was some serious astroturfing going on!

Such a shame someone so keen on anonymity couldn't think of a pseudonym that wasn't composed entirely from part of his actual name.


You did read the official denial? The one we know is from Dorian. His English and punctuation is perfect. I fail to see how any argument that claims Dorian can't write English holds water. Maybe he wrote a terribly written comment somewhere but that doesn't mean he lacks fundamental English skills.
