This is proof, people are now very smart to cheat. Luckily they caught him, the list of Faketoshi seems to be getting bigger because of BTC. I am sad that they believe so much in a system like this. In fact I have hundreds of messages offering to invest in crypto. But I would never believe this, so I ignored the offer messages that looked fun and made us rich quick. But thinking rationally is a very difficult thing, you need more research and experience.

most that will fall into seemingly high value proposition are gullible users who are after for get-rich-quick-scheme. and like this person, he used a fake profile to lure people invest on his fraudulent business. it will not stop if people will continue to patronise this kind of scheme. and there will always someone that will fall to this kind of trap.
by now, i hope a lot of crypto users already faced different kinds of these tactics that they can easily spot on potential fraud.

As Bitcoin is getting more and more popular around the world, faketoshis of different nationalities are also rising.
This Faketoshi has been active for a very long time, his first appearences seems to be around 2015 / 2016.

Before his appearance as Faketoshi, various sources indicate his career as wedding DJCheesy Cheesy
Somewhen between 2013 - 2015, he changed his name from Jörg Oertl to Jörg Molt.
And I can imagine that he had to change his name because of his bad reputation...


By the way, this thread is a duplicate of this one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57440703.
Sorry, looks like I've overlooked it, I did a quick search checking the titles and nothing showed up so far.



This is proof, people are now very smart to cheat.
Especially this Faketoshi isn't a very smart one. He has a record of being unsuccessful and living from government money, when he was fired from the military somewhen 20 years ago. After that he was a semi-professional wedding DJ. He isn't paying money to his 4 kids which he has from 3 wives and still claims to own 250,000 BTC...
There's an entire site documenting his lies and fraud: https://nakamolto.info/nm/
 Cheesy Cheesy

According to Andreas Antonopoulos, he has / had a whole team supporting his fraud:

Last week, Jörg Molt, known as "German Faketoshi", was arrested when he tried to travel from Germany (Frankfurt at Main, Airport) to Mexico.
He claimed to be a Co-Founder of Bitcoin, holding around 250,000 Bitcoin but never delievered a proof.
In addition, he ran a Ponzi called "Bitcoin Rent" where he collected 62 BTC.

Jörg Molt was very disliked in Germany but got also very famous when he cheated Andreas Antonopoulos:

Luckily, he is arrested now for his fraud.  Cheesy

There would really be some consequences when you are trying out to make some lies on the public specially claiming out someone which is known without minding on what would be the result of such claim.

Arent he aware nor he didnt make some second thoughts on how badly the community and government been looking for Satoshi? People can easily claimed and we do only need that one proof
which is to move those funds on known wallet owned by satoshi itself and that would be enough. Any verbal claims wont really be counted but people do really love to play
on thins which shouldnt really be played at all.

Those scam schemes really are hitting people when they show a picture of theirs and someone who's very popular in the crypto industry.

What a technique and it never gets old. Well, is this a sign that most of those 'faketoshi's' were being arrested? and the next one... who knows what will happen next.  Tongue

Farewell, Leo
Sometimes I wonder, if Satoshi is still alive, how annoyed may he be?

It still really boggles me how some people have the confidence to openly and publicly run a ponzi scheme, while thinking that they could get away with it.
They turn over Charles Ponzi's grave.  Cheesy

Does people think that satoshi would be that stupid (if alive) to dox himself holding 1 million coins? Which besides a enormous amount of money is also a liability for many.
No, but if you successfully convince someone that he is Satoshi, you'll essentially be in the second level of the ponzi. There's incentive in pyramid schemes to support a head. Generally, in the human species; homo-sapiens differentiate from the other animals, due to their tribalism.

How many people in this world claim to be Satoshi but none of them can prove it, I am sad that many people believe his statement when they find out that he is a fake satoshi. Fortunately, anyone claiming to be a satoshi would be in trouble with the law for not being able to prove his identity as a real satoshi.
If you have noticed, all of them have a hidden agenda, they run something a business or any illegal activities.  How many of them claiming to be Satoshi, but none of them can prove that they are the real Satoshi but instead, they introduce and run their own projects.  How poor Satoshi always has been used people like this, they deserve that they got in jail and I hope those early people who claim Satoshi will also be arrested.

Good to see Andreas give a statement that he doesn't know that fraudster, a selfie image seems to be true as well, what's a good edit.
We hope that there are too many of them will get arrested, they molded a bad image on Bitcoin not only in Satoshi because it used in a Ponzi scheme or a giveaway scam.
These people pretend to be Satoshi because they know others around will get interested on them for this reason, what will give their schemes some credibility and attract greedy investors, since they will think the faketoshi is a wealthy profitable man. Similar situation happens regards Elon Musk: investors idolize him because he has a lot of money and people imagine they can also get some profit by following the guy.

Nothing lasts forever
Just because he has a selfie with Andreas doesn't mean he is Satoshi. I wonder why would anybody believe that shit.
I highly doubt even Andreas would know who Satoshi Nakamoto is. This selfie with Andrea shows how just one picture could be used in a wrong way to spread false information.
The number of people impersonating Satoshi Nakamoto is increasing everyday and this will only get worse in future.
We should spread more awareness on not to believe anybody impersonating Satoshi Nakamoto unless he signs a transaction with Satoshis keys.

Sow how could people believe that faketoshi who is claiming have 2,50,000 Bitcoins and not a single proof for that and still collecting btc by running a Ponzi scheme? How does it sound to be legit to anyone I don't know that Satoshi would be asking btc from you? So we all know some clowns who will come and say they are founder of bitcoin and same treatment should be given to them also.

As Bitcoin is getting more and more popular around the world, faketoshis of different nationalities are also rising. This is getting ridiculous not only because they are obviously not Satoshi but because they have collected money out of their fake claim from gullible individuals. This is both a sort of a testament that Bitcoin is now getting popular and a warning that people should be cautious of weird individuals claiming to be the real Satoshi to scam them of their money.

By the way, this thread is a duplicate of this one: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57440703.

It's not even interesting anymore if someone claims to be Satoshi or part of the team around Satoshi. It would be so easy to prove it and if they choose not to, the situation is obviously clear. I haven't even been following Craig Wright anymore because as Vitalik once put it, if there is an easy way to prove a fact and a difficult way, and someone chooses the difficult way, it's almost always certainly wrong.

I have to admit though that this Molt guy has a pretty impressive hairstyle! Tongue

They do get away with it when they flee to another country, especially the one that doesn't help with investigations for some reason, then change their identity there, bribe the local officials if needed. They get caught when there are already charges against them and they haven't flee yet and a judge allows to arrest them, which might not always happen. Look at how many exchange and other service owners pulled an exit scam, disappeared and never got caught.

Let's hope another faketoshi will be arrested as well. It's even better if all of them stay on same jail cell Roll Eyes
Their conversations would be fun to hear hehe.

Does people think that satoshi would be that stupid (if alive) to dox himself holding 1 million coins? Which besides a enormous amount of money is also a liability for many.
Lies when repeated thousands of times becomes the "truth".

Satoshi is still missing. And it is unlikely that he would have done something like that.
He hid himself before bitcoin became extremely popular so he wouldn't declare something like that but I wouldn't say he is missing if nobody knew his real identity.

Not your keys, not your coins!
Faketoshi is what scammers try to become. They can not and don't even believe that they will be recognized as real satoshi.

What they want most is compromise the belief of naive people and steal money. When they finish their scam missions, they don't care what the others call them.

Faketoshis will appear more and they will come from everywhere on Earth.

That's why it said in the title that it's Faketoshi, meaning that he isn't the real deal plus it's not like satoshi will ever reveal himself, remember that he doesn't want to do any kind of reveal of his/her identity because as you've said, it's a danger to himself/herself. It's good that this German dude is going to be jailed because this kind of people are a danger to society plus they cause bad reputation for cryptocurrencies and it's community.

I do not think he tricked Andreas,,, he just probably went to an event, asked to take a selfie picture and the nice man said yes. Very normal for a nice person to allow public to take selfies with them. The sad thing Andreas probably realized only later on was that the majority of people who have money to go to all these conferences are the saddest, meanest people in crypto.

Yes, AA was taken advantage of the German Faketoshi and if only AA would have known, he won't bother to take a picture with him.

Well good riddance, it's good that he has been arrested and put to justice. He has used the good name of Satoshi and probably well known personalities that's why he was able to run his Ponzi scheme and very confident that he wouldn't be caught by the law. But it's not the end, maybe we will hear another personality coming out and claiming to be Satoshi and then scamming people around.

He should be spunked and should be doing a community service right there in India so he can experience what is real life is all about. I actually heard of this man before with his claim to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto and I think it was here in this forum. Good thing that he got arrested for orchestrating a fraud and let's hope those he victimized with his ponzi scam will go out and file more cases against him. We don't need  Jörg Molt and we don't need Craig Wright ruining the name of Bitcoin for their own personal gains and ambitions.
