The man Newsweek claims is the founder of the bitcoin denies he had anything to do with the digital currency.

In an exclusive interview March 6 with The Associated Press, Dorian S. Nakamoto, 64, said he had never heard of bitcoins until his son told him he had been contacted by a reporter three weeks earlier.

Since the birth of the bitcoin in 2009, its creator has remained a mystery. The person behind its founding has been known only as "Satoshi Nakamoto," but many thought that was a pseudonym for a group of people. (AP)
