As a reminder this version of the whitepaper published to SSRN [archive] (has been removed) was referenced by CoinDesk in 2018, while Peter only tweeted about the fraud a year later.

Their tweet storm is still only a snippet of all the information about Craig being a fraud.

(1/13) Craig Wright is speaking at @ForumChallenge this week in London, in a session entitled “What was your purpose as Satoshi writing the Whitepaper?”

Please see below some of the court rulings and fraud accusations related to Mr Wright

(2/13) In a 2005 case, in an Australian court ruling against Mr Wright, the judge mentioned that there were “doubts about his credibility”, due to contradictory evidence

(3/13) Mr Wright appears to have edited his blog dated 2008, in 2015, to make it look like he was writing a cryptocurrency paper at the time, while a 2014 snapshot of the blog does not include this cryptocurrency comment

(4/13) According to @DrFunkenstein6, Mr Wright may have submitted an email to the court for the Kleiman case, where the date and date implied by the email signature timestamp are inconsistent

Quote from: Dr. Funkenstein6

@DrFunkenstein6
Craig Wright just submitted a provably fake email in court for the Kleiman case. @PeterMcCormack and @adam3us, you may find this interesting!

(5/13) According to @jimmy007forsure, Mr Wright may have submitted another email to the court for the Kleiman case dated in 2008, when the domain is question was only registered in 2009

Quote from: SeekingSatoshi

@jimmy007forsure
This email was blown apart ages ago. But BSV fans still seem to think its legit and was provided by Ira Kleiman and thus proves Craig is Satoshi .. Sorry its another forgery and Craig handed the doc over under discovery. Craig is a liar, fraud and a bloody idiot.

(6/13) Court transcripts from the Kleiman case appear to imply that Wright backdated messages he sent on Bitmessage, because the software was not released at the time on the screenshot Mr Wright provided

(7/13) Mr Wright may have claimed to have a PhD in Computer Science from Charles Sturt University on his Linkedin profile, however a Forbes article implies this may not be the case

(8/13) A recent article by Sam Williams indicates that Mr Wright plagiarised some academic papers, copying large chunks of text from other papers

(9/13) According to @kyletorpey, a lawsuit against Craig Wright claims Wright used a computer-generated font called Otto to forge Dave Kleiman's signature

Quote from: Kyle Torpey

@kyletorpey
The $10 Billion lawsuit against Craig Wright claims Wright used a computer-generated font called Otto to forge Dave Kleiman's signature and acquire hundreds of thousands of bitcoins.

(10/13) Mr Wright appears to have claimed to have had one of the world’s fastest supercomputers called “C01N”, however according to a @ZDNet article the supplier he mentioned denied having any relationship with Mr Wright

(11/13) Mr Wright claims to be entitled to over 1 million Bitcoin in the “Tulip Trust”, which trust documents show was created in 2011. However, as @MyLegacyKit points out, documents imply that Mr Wright may have acquired the company as late as 2014

Quote from: Arthur van Pelt - Dragon Industries

@MyLegacyKit
For those who still think this Tulip trust thing is a genuine set up in 2011/2012, please pay attention now. In the Kleiman v. Wright lawsuit we found out the following.

The Tulip Trading Limited trust was requested by Craig Wright on October 16, 2014 as a "shelf company".

(12/13) In May 2016 Mr Wright claimed he was about to release a message & signature proving he was Satoshi, however as the BBC points out, he "backed out" and all he produced was a signature “that could be found via a search engine”
Source: https://bbc.co.uk/news/technology-36213580

(13/13) And finally. The 2019 court ruling in the case between the estate of David Kleiman and Mr Craig Wright concluded that Mr Wright "willfully created fraudulent documents" and acted in "bad faith"

@BitMEXResearch
The court ruling in the case between the estate of David Kleiman and Mr Craig Wright has been published

The court reaches damning conclusions against Mr Wright, who "willfully created fraudulent documents" and acted in "bad faith"
