Newsweek drew significant attention in March 2014 when it published a cover story identifying Dorian Nakamoto as the alleged creator of Bitcoin. Dorian Nakamoto denied any involvement, and the identification was widely disputed. Separately, Newsweek has disclosed that IBT Media's owners came under investigation for fraud by the Manhattan District Attorney, leading investigators to raid its newsroom in January 2018, after which its owners dismissed several journalists including the editor-in-chief. Newsweek has stated that no charges were brought against it as a result of that probe, while Olivet and several other defendants pleaded guilty to felonies.
