This doc here is pretty interesting. I'd like to see that 30 million dollar tx on the blockchain. Also, it appears this guy got goxxed... Tongue

The Directors have advised that $30 million was subscribed to by the shareholders in paid up capital and
this was injected via Bitcoins

+ Dr Wright, as the major shareholder no longer being able to provide financial accommodation to the
Company due to the collapse of the Mount Gox Bitcoin registry where we understand Dr Wright had a
significant exposure.

Edit - I think he's a con myself, the IPO for his company that was linked to earlier that runs that supercomputer is up soon, so he needs MOAR money!!!

Did you miss the part where he told someone to "leak" his email ?

Quote

Wright seemed to take personal offense at the Newsweek story. “I do not want to be your posterboy. I am not found and I do not want to be,” he writes in another message the same day. The email, addressed to a colleague and titled “please leak,” may have been an early draft of the Nakamoto’s posted denial of Newsweek’s story.

That's not a leak. That's him dictating press releases.

"please leak" Grin

This guy is definitely not Satoshi.

Well, only one way to be sure; have him sign something with the private part of this key:

Otherwise he is just looking for publicity!
And about that 10th Jan 09 with him releasing Bitcoin, would be nearly impossible for that page to be online for so long without anyone noticing it.

Satoshi is rolling in his grave. #bitcoin

They discovered nothing, nor will they. There's a good reason why Satoshi went silent, and that is to get away from government and press attacks.
It looks like now they are trying to lure him out by "exposing" other as him, trying to make him come out and show himself, but he's way smarter than that.

I don't think the real Satoshi would attend Bitcoin meetup because he values his privacy. The article doesn't convince me, it admits the whole thing could be an elaborate hoax, and picks holes in the "evidence. All the leaked documents are unverified.....

...... unverified doesn't = untrue.
And, a simple reason for attending the conference could have been to control the release of the news. If he new that his name was going to be released by Wired/Gizmoto, maybe this was his attempt to slowly step into the light, which he realized was going to be inevitable anyway.

I don't think the real Satoshi would attend a Bitcoin meetup because he values his privacy. The article doesn't convince me, it admits the whole thing could be an elaborate hoax, and picks holes in the "evidence. All the leaked documents are unverified, all the blog posts were edited, and the PGP key had its timestamp altered to make it look like it was created years earlier.

Quote

All of it could be an elaborate hoax—perhaps orchestrated by Wright himself. The unverified leaked documents could be faked in whole or in part. And most inexplicably of all, comparisons of different archived versions of the three smoking gun posts from Wright’s blog show that he did edit all three—to insert evidence of his bitcoin history. The PGP key associated with Nakamoto’s email address and references to an upcoming “cryptocurrency paper” and “triple entry accounting” were added sometime after 2013. Even the post noting bitcoin’s beta launch is questionable. While it was ostensibly posted in January 2009, it later seems to have been deleted and then undeleted—or possibly even written for the first time—sometime between October 2013 and June of 2014.

The guys plan was to -BUY- Bitcoin with investors money (even though he already holds more than anyone on earth)
THEN ..he planned on making a banking system with full ties and features to Fiat.
All for the sole purpose of getting people use to Bitcoin ?

Right. Why would he need money if he has a million bitcoins? It looks like a pretty simple con job, people here are overthinking it.

2 years ago, he started faking evidence that he was satoshi. Not to fool the general public or any news outlets, but to fool individuals into giving him money.

He comes up with some Trust Fund concept that gives him an excuse for why he can't spend his BTC until 2020. Gullible investors think he's a billionaire and that they only have to wait 5 years before he can give them piles of cash.

Question: Why hadn't nary a gullible investor, potential or otherwise, not come out earlier exposing Craig Wright given that they had to be privy to Craig's claims that he had close ties to Satoshi if not being part of Team Satoshi himself?

Because it's not 2020 yet.

What the hell is this from 2007? (found via Craig Wright's email gleaned from here: http://web.archive.org/web/20080621001824/http://www.blogger.com/profile/08415993939211056384)

https://books.google.com/books?id=8hujhG574csC&pg=PA400&lpg=PA400&dq=%[email protected]%22&source=bl&ots=m4C9LbH2Kc&sig=Llxsn06Uzrn8GfaP11OFPsDXVfI&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjX2M-6yM_JAhVKeT4KHZigAv4Q6AEIHTAA#v=onepage&q&f=false

I'm glad you're on the case Bruno. You seem to have a talent for digging stuff up.

I've lost track - Klieman's the dead dude, right? The holder of the trust? Did I see elsewhere he's an ex-cop with a background hacking investigations?

Take a look at this from 2008: http://www.vidarholen.net/~vidar/overwriting_hard_drive_data.pdf

It's possible that Craig Wright did some legit work with Dave Kleiman back in the day unrelated to Bitcoin, then Craig developed some scheme in his Serial Uni mind to take advantage of Dave's demise, i.e., making it look like Dave was Satoshi since he's no longer around to deny it, thinking it prudent to not claim he and Hal Finney were Team Satoshi just in case the Popsicle came back to life, exiting his cryo chamber earlier than expected.

Did not read through the thread, but here goes...

I think all of this is a huge hoax, apart from the obvious part where satoshi can easily prove his identity by either posting on this forum, or any other known place he's been at...
How in the hell does this random guy come out of nowhere and start saying he's Satoshi Nakamoto? And people believe it.
Then the Wired article came out, I read it through and it looks so fake (for a lack of better term). So theatrical and unbelieveable.

If Wright really is Satoshi, congratulations! You;ve made my life a lot better. Now if you want to be known as Satoshi, spare five minutes and prove it as you should.
