After being outed as the founder of Bitcoin Thursday by Newsweek, Satoshi Nakamoto has been riding around Los Angeles in a car with a reporter while being chased by several other journalists.

Nakamoto emerged from his home and joined a reporter for the Associated Press, according to The Times' Andrea Chang, who relayed her information to Times deputy business editor Joe Bel Bruno.

In a brief exchange with Chang, Nakamoto denied being the creator of Bitcoin.

OK, so apparently #Nakamoto and the @AP reporter are driving around being chased by media. #bitcoin
