I'm pretty much sure Craig Wright is another brilliant hoaxer trying hard to make everyone believe that he's "Satoshi".

Satoshi had adopted that pseudo-name exclusively to hide his identity from everyone and not to reveal himself only after 6 years. From what I understood after reading the article is that he was eagerly trying to reveal his true identity by replying them in incomplete phrases. Now, true Satoshi would never do that in first place. If this was his intention, unlike Charles Lee (founder of Litecoin), Satoshi would also have revealed his name earlier.

I would rather suggest Wired to ask Craig for a signed message (claiming himself to be Satoshi) from the addresses used for Bitcoin pre-mining operation and post it in this forum from this account. This will be the strongest and most practical evidence possible.

In fact, new clues are suggesting that Craig might be a hoaxer.

even his supercomputer it seems that is fake.

http://www.zdnet.com/article/sgi-denies-links-with-alleged-bitcoin-founder-craig-wright/#oo

i think and his education is completely fake. This guy is 100% fake person. A real genius scammer.

sgi suggests it may have been bought on the grey market: lol
but craig said he has built it together with sgi.... proofed lie :-D

many of us called it a fraud from the very beginning. problem is every crypto news site went full onion on this

this kind of news must generate a lot of hits and followers... that's the logic of journalism today. Truth is not part of the equation.

It's pretty clear it's BS now, isn't it?

Gotta love the likes of Dr. Craig Steven Wright and John Fitzpatrick:

Company Plans To Build $50 Billion Supercomputer In New Mexico, Boosting Block Chain Processing

Exascale Power Co., a Portland, Ore.-based company, plans to build a supercomputer in New Mexico that will boost the power of the block chain processing infrastructure. The “One ExaFlop” system will bring parity with the computational power of machine systems and the human brain, allowing for the dawn of a new era of true artificial intelligence, the company claims.

Phase two will be a “One Zettaflop” supercomputer, which is one thousand times larger than the Exaflop system.

“Our mission is to build large data centers with wholesale power contracts for economies of scale, allowing us to provide competitively-priced commodity cloud computing services to improve the human condition,” John Fitzpatrick, CEO of Exascale Power Co, told CCN.

In typical Bruno fashion Bruno vomits nonsense without reading his reply has nothing to do with the bitcoin world

Bruno is nothing more than a cyberbully and people need to stop encouraging him

Sonny Vleisides was a bitcoin scammer.. try researching butterfly labs. Bruno was just pointing out prior scams
much like Mr wright scammed australian tax office prior to trying to get some fame and trust for his bitcoin bank scam

the only difference is we worked out Mr wright is a con artist before he began to dupe people

badgerkiller is most likely Bruce Peterson of BFL, with Josh Zerlan being the next most logical guess, with Sonny Vleisides also a possibility, all three pen with two spaces after a full stop, with badgerkiller ceasing the practice after I brought it to everybody's attention. badgerkiller's first foray on this forum was visiting and posting on a BFL thread, thereafter mostly directing his comments at me. I'm either his wannabe lover and he's my pet. HAHAHA

I have to admit, this guy is a genius scammer.  He's like the satoshi nakamoto of bitcoin scammers.

How many hours/years did he spend crafting blog posts, pretending to have a supercomputer, forging documents, filming videos, creating bogus companies, doing bogus business deals, obtaining fake certificates, making bogus phone calls?

Can anyone think of a more legendary and elaborate scam in the bitcoin world?

Sonny Vleisides of BFL along with his real father, James Ray Houston, pulled off the Laissez Faire City scam prior to he himself finally sentenced for his long-con lottery scam.

Yeah, people, what he said! Quit encouraging me. You know how easily I can be influenced via some payola to continue what I don't do best. In fact, I have no skill sets at all. I don't even know how to wipe my ass properly. Take this to the bank: badgerkiller nailed my ass as to what character I truly am. Praise badgerkiller!

Clueless!
UPDATE: Friday, Dec. 11, 4:24 p.m.: Charles Sturt University denies some of Craig Wright's claims regarding his education at the university, including that he completed a thesis.

epic! lol

Jesus Christ, this gets more and more surreal every day I wake up after the incident, it's like new stuff gets discovered that points to a massive, almost genius hoax, too bad he didn't tie all the clues because this could have been absolutely epic, well he got pretty far to be honest, tricked a lot of people the first hours.

The more I hear about this guy the more I don't want him to be Satoshi (kill my newbie btc messiah dream it would) Sad

I mean wtf they have not even started to dig into his 'private life' yet....I mean say they found out he was 'buddies' with ..Jarred (the subway sandwich spokesman) with proof of child
porn or something

humans are 'messy' would hope that Satoshi always stays anonymous would be the most 'sane' thing he could do after inventing bitcoin!

But whoever Satoshi is he 'essentially'  is just ' a human' and any normal stuff in his past (bad day at work, firing someone, divorce, child ran away,) etc the press FUD would suck!

My god what if they found out Satoshi was a US Citizen and a major "Donald Trump for President" supporter..worldwide BTC price would TANK! (scared self) Sad

My one small hope is at least it is looking likely it is NOT this wright character ..a guy can hope that is such anyway...Satoshi you can ALWAYS tell me ..I would
keep your secret to the grave ...just to chat you up ..HONEST!.......so on any urge to spill your guts on your secret identity PM me 1st so I can frigging talk you out of it! Smiley

On Friday afternoon, Charles Sturt University released a statement via email to Mashable confirming Wright completed three qualifications from the university: Master of Networking and Systems Administration, Master of Management (Information Technology) and Master of Information Systems Security.

He was not awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by the university, a Masters in Systems Development or a degree in Psychology as he claimed on his LinkedIn page and in his resume.

Mega epic. Bit lulz. Smiley


He tried submitting a paper to a security conference in 2008, and it was rejected. If Satoshi wrote any papers about anything for conferences I doubt they would have been rejected. This guy is a joke calling himself a doctor when he doesn't have a doctorate.

Quote
Another fact: in 2008, the same year Satoshi Nakamoto started talking about Bitcoin, Craig Wright submitted a paper to security conference Hack In The Box, held in Malaysia. It was entitled ‘Live Forensics in the Age of Virtualisation’. It didn’t get accepted.

I am sorry, but this is not the real find.  These guys do not understand that they will not find him.  If he does not want to be found, there is no one who is going to find him.  He used a stage name.  For all of you who did not understand that, he is using a fake name for what he created.  Next is that everyone is assuming that this is a man and not a group or not a woman.  They need to think outside the box if they are even going to get close.

So do the supercomputers exist or not?

This is what I'm most interested in.

I guess it had to be proven of its existence otherwise I don't see how it could've been ranked 15/17/? out of 500.

Paycoin Prime Controllers confirmed!  Cheesy

Timelines of events are interesting.  "Come on, give me those tax refunds, I'm gonna have PYCs worth $20 each any second, plus I own a fleet of prime controllers and my biz partner  (and his investment bank backers) and I are going to do a deal with this alt-coin payment processor, amazon, wal-mart, etc."  Would be wild if true.  How much financial backing did Gaw represent Paycoin/Paybase had? 100M, 200M Fraser probably doesn't have the much in personal wealth and also probably couldn't just hand over that much investor/client money without talking to partners at Cantor not biased by hype (like an investment committee for his group w/i Cantor)?  Maybe they (Cantor and/or Fraser) acted as a trustee for CSW?

Many possibilities still exist with this story overall (and beyond the GAW fun), I don't think anything can be concluded 100% yet.

i think thsi guy is a peak of scammers in bitcoin ecosystem. Brilliant but he is still a scammer Tongue

So lemme get this straight, he's feigning being Satoshi to pretend that he has the necessarily collateral to pay off huge loans?
