So why would Gavin Andersen say that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto:
1. Gavin was tricked into thinking so
2. Gavin was hacked
3. Gavin is a liar
it all looks so suspicious to me, because I don't see why satoshi would be hesitant to publish a signed message to public. if he really was satoshi, then instead of that complicated blog post he would have simply posted a signed message in the normal format with the date of yesterday (or the date of publishing the blog post)
now here is the question, what is up with Gavin?
I don't think it is 1 or 2 because he is not stupid or a newbie to be fooled or hacked this easily. besides if her was hacked we would have known already, considerable amount of time has passed already.
so there must be a plot afoot!
Maybe Gavin knows who the real Satoshi is, and for whatever reason feels it is so important to protect his identity that he is willing to support a lunatic like Wright's claim in order to provide an extra protective layer of confusion. But then again it's so damaging to Gavin's reputation.
