Topic: Has Wired discovered the real Satoshi Nakamoto? (.. this time) - page 4. (Read 24252 times)

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

Can you please try to keep it in your pants.

As for Nakamoto, as much as I like Bitcoin celebrity gossip I think this digging is becoming ridiculous. How hard can it be for the journalists to do some fact checking, especially on a subject that's been misreported so many times before. Clickbait.

This Paycoiner Tankjnr would be the best Satoshi out of all of the candidates ever suggested by approximately 1 Garzillion times.....

Time to invest in R/Buttcoin stock.

The best theory around that is, his investors.

* There's a mythical bitcoin fortune held by Satoshi.
* Mr. Wright had some investments and, at least in one, was using bitcoin as backing.
* Mr. Wright got goxed and lost a considerable part of his fortune there.
* His investors are pressing in, in sight of total loss.
* He got the magical aura of be holding 1 million+ of bitcoins, that he can't move right now for any reason.
* His investors rest a bit and ease the leash, giving him more time to breath.

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

More and more it appears WIRED and GIZMODO got it wrong

Many BCT peeps also got it wrong


Call names of scammer fraud and more without actual proof of names

Whatever Craig Wright may be I prefer him to be face of Bitcoin more than I do Bruno

he's a scammer? but what did he scam? what did he gain from all of this?

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

Mr. Craig seems to be a very early miner but reading all these pages and "leaked" info etc it is highly unlikely that he is Satoshi, or part of the inner circle of the satoshi group. If anything, David Kleiman is a more likely candidate but who knows.

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect SN to be a god or even as modest as he appears in his former forum posts but him being such a fraudster and on top of it all a proponent of a bitcoin bank sounds like diametrically opposed to the core idea of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is all about independence and autonomy.

Interestingly, I see the need for bank loans for investments not adequately addressed by Bitcoin. Say what you want, but unless some sort of crowd-funding could do away with traditional bank loans, there will otherwise still be the need for banks and perhaps even fractional reserve banking in this world! But this is off-topic.

Be careful with the recent price spike, I smell a major pump and dump is under way. It's still a bit too early for a price-rise in anticipation of the upcoming halving next summer.

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.

Yes.  It could be - but I'm not sure how likely - that this is a simple Ashley Madison extortion for btc. It would be genius if the hackers found Satoshi in the trove of data.  I believe there are some old posts of satoshi's talking about using BTC for porn, so Ash Madison might be right there in the scope of his interests.  In a way, I think this is the simplest explanation for what is going on - its just too convenient and stupid (risky behavior) at the moment (I mean, csw seems to have been gone from his house in Au for a while - I sorta think he knew the law was coming and he made a getaway plan that put focus on the other side of the world).  

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?

If you told me that, I would say that you are engaging in plausible speculation.

i don't think so. and they don't think so too. there are too many weird things. i think this guy just want to get famous.

the questions is why does he want all this attention.

Apologies for not including a source, but I recall an unsolvable murder at the time that the detectives couldn't get a break. That was until the neighbor-of-the-decease dude started helping the detectives with their investigation suggesting did they consider this, that and another thing? Needless to say, the focus eventually turned to him as the person conducting the perfect murder, and he would've gotta away with it if only he had kept his trap shut. Taxing my memory, I believe that during the confession he murdered the dude over something rather mundane like used to borrow shit and never returned it.

what if i told you Mr Wright leaked the documents himself, intentionally to get some fame hinting that he is a currency freedom god, to sway peoples mindset to not think of him as a greedy egotistical conman scamming millions from government.
ofcourse if he just came out and shouted he was a currency freedom god. he would get laughed at.. but by subtly creating so called proof. people would potentially believe him later, if they fell for the proof first.


its like governments dont just say lets bomb syria.. first they need to fake/create a reason and proof that its a real reason. such as trying to sway media to say the brussels born and raised nutters were actually linked to syria.. emphasizing syria and trying to sweep brussels under the rug for a few weeks.

Mr wright has been too public with a few things. such as back dated blogpostings and twitter comments.. but because it wasnt picked up fast enough, he needed to nudge his agenda a bit quicker, by leaking his ''proof" because time was running out before he could be arrested as a scammer, cheat and fraudster.

he really hoped that the bitcoin community would support and defend him for his tax dodging skulduggery, im guessing he was hoping for donations to cover his defense. much like (an innocent man)dorian got.

he just hinted too much, trying to act cagey about his bitcoin knowledge and involvement. it was too obvious..
EG if someone done a crime they would not act cagey hinting they may have been at the location at the time.. they would not backdate blogposts to say that they were there at the time.. they would not tell friends and family that they did the crime.

but Wright seems like a con act, trying to take responsibility for it. making evidance appear. but without revealing any real fingerprints to link him..

all in all, it just didnt sit right with me. and i hope australia, a commonwealth of the UK talks with UK police to get him to answer for his tax dodging and scammy practices

That's exactly what I figured, now seeing that some other echoes my sentiment with a linked source.

It's a complete hoax! Satoshi is either dead or isn't into Bitcoin space anymore.

Maybe he wants to spend the rest of his life alone. So why you guys are behind him always.

Let him live a peaceful life.

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

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
