Hmm,
Maybe Matonis and Gavin are not as smart as you think they are or maybe they just really wanted to believe it was him, so he could help end the rift that is splitting BTC between the Chinese miners and the BTC Core LN scammers.
If Wright can't move 1 BTC from Satoshi BTC Address, then he is not Satoshi.
The Fact the guy is in so much debt and Satoshi BTC would have him sitting pretty , tells you he is not Satoshi.
That is too much to dismiss. Proving Wright is Satoshi wouldn't end by rift as both sides of the civil war are entrenched, well backed and determined. What it would give them is leverage and a justifiable reason to successfully split Bitcoin which will only lead to a bigger war.
You have to ask if committing career suicide is worth that cause without a doubt if they knew Wright didn't have proof they would be found out.
As for how smart Gavin and Matonis are - all the real world evidence, before this ordeal, supports high intelligence and a well developed sense of discernment.
Everyone here is assuming the improbable to be true which is senseless and financially dangerous if you hold Bitcoin.
