He's apparently holed up inside. Neighbors don't seem to know him (or know what Bitcoin is, for that matter).

Nakamoto now in DTLA. Told me in elevator that he's not involved with #Bitcoin, engaged in weird car chase "all for a free lunch."

So where did Nakamoto want his free lunch from? Mako Sushi in Arcadia. #bitcoin

Nakamoto, when I asked him in elevator why he told Newsweek he used to be involved with #bitcoin: "No no no I was never involved."

UPDATE:
UPDATE 2
The LA Times has filed this report:
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.
UPDATE 3
LaTi with more:
Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto, a 64-year-old man from Temple City, joined an Associated Press reporter Thursday afternoon after being identified as the founder of Bitcoin by Newsweek[...]
"I'm not involved in Bitcoin," he said. "Wait a minute. I want free lunch first. I'm going to go with this guy."[...]Nakamoto then proceeded to join the Associated Press reporter before being chased around Los Angeles by a group of journalists.
The reporter took Nakamoto to the Associated Press' Los Angeles office, where the Los Angeles Times' Andrea Chang was able to catch up to them and ask Nakamoto if he started Bitcoin. Nakamoto denied creating the cryptocurrency, according to Chang.
