Note the rhetorical sleight of hand right here. A fluid segue from “Bitcoin Satoshi” to “Dorian Satoshi” when the reporter has not yet established that they are the same.

The reporter claims he tacitly acknowledged “his role in the Bitcoin project”, but note that even in the quote below, on which this entire story rests, he does not actually say “Bitcoin”.

Dorian Nakamoto evidently worked as an engineer on classified military projects in the past. The penalties for violating confidentiality in those circumstances are severe. It makes total sense that he would be worried about getting into trouble for talking to a reporter about his prior work – particularly a reporter who had previously approached him to talk about model trains before switching the topic to his work as an engineer.

Or, alternately, the slackness of a person who has no idea why he’s being harassed by a reporter from Newsweek for no good reason.

Yahoo has had a longstanding problem with leaks of confidential internal documents and memos. This presents a real challenge to any company since the countermeasures that could be employed to try to stop the leaks can create even bigger problems than the leaks.

This statement is more interesting than it first appears, in two ways:

First, Buffett is notoriously stingy at giving Berkshire executives stock or stock options. So many of his managers have little or no stock in the company, which makes it hard to claim they are shareholder-oriented (as opposed to oriented to whatever other incentive goals Buffett sets for them).

Second, many investors routinely complain that a big problem with large, publicly-owned companies is that their managers typically own very little stock and are therefore out of alignment with shareholders.

Once again, as with the S&P 500 index, Buffett perhaps chooses an overly easy bar to jump over.

This is a valuable explanation on Buffett’s part, and stands in opposition to a fairly large number of stock market commentators such as Mark Cuban who insist that companies that do not pay dividends are not treating their shareholders properly.
