hmm.. so if cyberdoc hands craig the privkey for cyberdocs 1933ph address.. craig could possibly use it and pretend that it validates a story of, if he has one privkey of addresses in the list he must have them all...

Craig picked those addresses very likely without knowing of cypherdoc at all-- it was simply one of the higher value addresses on the chain at the time as were the other addresses he picked-- which is how he managed e.g. to pick that mtgox hacker address too.

It might not have occurred to them to do it (until now). It might be time to start making popcorn.

I had a chance to go look back at those transactions and ... it turns out that the amount wright paid was his tax id. So it was obviously a transparent attempt to get his tax ID to show up on block explorers for the target address.

What is he trying to prove or aiming to achieve by claiming he's Satoahi Nakamoto Anyway? Like is that gonna give him power over our bitcoins? If the answer is no then he's just wasting money, time and manpower to prove himself right, and the worst thing about this is that he's not gonna be proven right because there is no way the real Satoshi would reveal himself. The real one/ones are probably sipping fiji water wallowing on their $1.1B wealth by now, while this guy is wasting money trying to prove the improvable

He is just an attention seeking fraud, nothing more.

Someone signed a message a few days ago calling Craig a fraud from 145 addresses Craig claimed were his in the Tulip Trust.

If Craig Steven Wright really controlled 1FeexV6bAHb8ybZjqQMjJrcCrHGW9sb6uF as certified by his lawyer and presented in the Supreme Court of New South Wales then he would be the hacker involved in the first major MtGox theft.

Court document can be seen here:

Is that document actually from the Supreme Court of New South Wales though. How did you verify that document was presented in court? Your link is not from the court.

The Supreme Court of NSW filing was disclosed in the Kleiman v Wright Florida case. Certified court records were filed there.

First of all, do we really have to discuss about Craig Wright so frequently?
All he does is that he claims that lost bitcoins are his (all address that he claims to own are just lost/forgotten/damaged/destroyed/abandoned).
I have no idea why even court and anyone in this world wastes his/her time with Craig Wright? Why in this world trolls are becoming stars? Is there anyone who believes in Craig Wright?
If he owns those addresses, then use that wealth for himself but in reality he doesn't own them, those addresses weren't ever his property and all he does is like to claim that Wrights were kings of UK in past and now they have to manage whole country. And all of these is said without arguments and proofs too. It's a shame.
Why didn't court request conclusion of his mental health?

You probably don't get the depth of his issue. His days left of freedom are most likely counted as we speak. I wonder how much the court will continue taking his shit.

Trolls are becoming stars because some people are unconscious enough to believe the words this tard speaks. Look how much attention he and BSV got over the past few weeks.. mainsteam, Twitter, everywhere. Because people are putting their $10 in BSV hoping for CW to show his proof that he's Satoshi and turn their $10 in millions overnight. Things that seem too good to be true... are that way.

Some are still hoping they can do again what those in 2009 did by holding some coins. They're pretty much the useless part of crypto.

By the time someone comes up with the proof of this scam, CSW may have already dumped most of his BSV for fiat cash. It can make him rich by a few billion USD.

Isn't that what con artists do?
Get as many people in as possible, get as much money from them as possible then leave?

If he does not take the money and run then he is doing it wrong ;-)

kinda wonder why craig has not done so yet.
i wonder what cyberdoc and craig are waiting for.

if i made a textfile of few hundred addresses but then included one which i or a friend did have a key for.. the only reason i wouldnt use the privkey to validate an address in the collateral file.. is that stalling is the aim of the game

only a few months left of the aussie statue of limitations

If Craig Wright manages to convince cyberdoc to do some scam like this, then the market will react like crazy. Already the BSV exchange rates have rallied by more than 300% during the last few weeks. If CSW pulls this off, then we can expect a spike of another 400% to 500% (i.e the prices can jump from $350 to somewhere between $1,500-2,000. By the time someone comes up with the proof of this scam, CSW may have already dumped most of his BSV for fiat cash. It can make him rich by a few billion USD.

people recognised the address ages ago...
craig knew cypherdoc ages ago.

it wont take much for craig to ask cypherdoc to get in on craigs scam in exchange for the privkey

kinda strange with many many many many months between then and now. that craig didnt even think of that tactic.
to me this whole ira K lawsuit is just to delay the 'ownership' of the colateral just to stop aussie government from doing anything until the statute of limitations expires.
because if the purpose was to prove the collateral was real. signing a message even one thats done by deceit of asking the real owner for it. would have been done by now

anyway definetly popcorn time.
..
as for other people wondering why some people are fanning up craig and staying loyal to him.. obviously people ike calvin invested heavily into craig. so calling crai out on his BS is like saying goodbye to any returns. but trying to keep the scam alive for aslong as possible and create enough drama to cause interest in a book deal and other novelty income streams could get calvin and others some return on their losses. so thats probably why.
they too afraid to cut their losses. greed is more powerful than morals

This is cypherdoc's addresses. Cypherdoc is a big promoter of Wright/BSV today.

I guess he graduated from getting paid thousands of BTC in kickbacks from promoting scam bitcoin miners to promoting Wright's identity theft scam... since it's become hard to believe he's just a bamboozled victim given that wright was claiming his own address!

You'd think that someone who testified in court of being the Lebron James of cryptocurrency could less humiliating ways to make a quick buck...

Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

Quote from: DaveF on February 08, 2020, 04:32:04 PM

The sad part is that there are people who still follow him.
BSV is up something like 12% in the last 24 hours. I just don't get it.

Well, these "investors" have 2 kinds:
1. Maybe these are the newbie investors who are following CSW for a long time and they believe in whatever he said. We can't blame them TBH because maybe they have taste profits with investing into BSV. They will just stop investing into it if they taste a loss.
2. CSW and his followers themselves. - Maybe they are the ones who are doing the pump and dump of the coin itself. Poor investors of BSW because they might end up losing their money into it.

If this is true, I'd like to see Faketoshi to be in prison. He is just a stupid person claiming that he is Satoshi and now he is claiming that he hacked Mt. Gox. What will he claim next? Maybe he will claim that he will adjust the maximum supply of BTC? I want this stupid idiot to be in jail

Rising prices of BSV doesn't necessarily mean acceptance of Craig Wright's claim that he is the real Satoshi. There are millions of cryptocurrency users around, and apparently CSW has been successful in fooling a small part of them, by using the "fear of being left behind" method. A large number of users think this way - they are 99% sure that Wright has nothing to do with Satoshi. But they are still unsure about the remaining 1%. So they are ready to invest 1% or 2% of their wealth to amass some BSV coins. Just to make sure that they are not left behind, in case by some miracle Wright is able to prove later that he has some relation to the real Satoshi.

When will this drama of who is Satoshi stop? Everybody wants to be associated with something good. Whenever he makes his fowl call about the name, BSV always pumps up and I don't just know how people reason.

Dump it!!!

Great breakdown of the current situation surrounding CSW.

I've always wanted to look into whether or not there is any credence to his claim, now I know there isn't any.

Looks like he has simply used his own technical knowledge of blockchain, or the BTC blockchain, in particular, to dupe people into believing he owns certain public keys.

Either way, you've gotta give the guy credit, he's still going to this day, and hasn't been banged up yet. That's an impressive feat considering the scale of his BS.

Haven't seen anyone mention this before, nice find. To answer your question, Craig is neither. He is a pathological who keeps digging a deeper hole for himself.

I don't understand how Craig did not end up in prison if he himself claimed to own the address to which the money from the hacked MtGox was transferred... I don't think he's a hacker, though. And yeah, I don't think he is Satoshi, even though there are some people who are absolutely sure of that. At the same time, he's not a complete fraud, because he does know a thing or two about cryptography. After all, he does manage to pretend to be Satoshi most of the time, he has a relevant degree and IT work experience.. So he is an educated guy, morally questionable and definitely not Satoshi.
