The almost universal consensus clearly is that he is NOT the inventor of Bitcoin so what are the real reasons that are driving Wright to these lengths?
The one and only reason is to seek attention.
Attention seeking would lead to BSV receiving attention which in turn would push the price up so it would have monetary benefits.
I thought he had already lost a case claiming he is SN. Didn't he have to pay several $millions as a result? Is he making money over all his rubbish claims?
As far as I know the case in London versus Roger Ver in 2020 was dismissed in the initial stages by the High Court judge because he concluded London was not the place for it. Wright appealed the judgement and lost the case, again.
Attention seeking idiot. I doubt the court will acknowledge his wild claims without tangible proof to back his wild statements. Why do you guys even share stuff related to him in the first place?
This is exactly what he wants. People are talking about him(positive or negative) which is why we need to collectively ignore him. An attention craving fool is nothing without attention.
Hopefully newbies and gullible people will read these types of threads and become wiser and benefit them in the era of misinformation.
He's likely looking to make money off as many people as possible. If he gets to be recognized as Nakamoto, the chain of events you've mentioned will probably start by him suing a lot of people who are public Bitcoin investors/devs/users for using "his" code, "his" logo, "his" project's name etc..
Besides the above, his BSV project would probably skyrocket and so he would make a sh*t ton of money off it. I really hope this doesn't happen and no judge ever rules him to be the legitimate creator of BTC. Otherwise, a lot of people would have so much headache to handle from a crappy sentence..
If the Court case goes further and
if the defendants present evidence showing Wright actively is trying to show himself to be the pseudonym Satoshi even though he is not - then that just might make enough problems for Wright including perjury which leads to a jail sentence.
He's so deep in his lies that the can no longer face that he's just another nob that happened to be at the right place and at the right time. I don't think his claim on the London High Court would have any bearings nor would it be something that the judges will look thoroughly given his reputation of being a liar and choosing not to directly address what was being asked of him when he was claiming to be Satoshi. The dude's just finding legal loopholes to further his claim, making it seem authentic and that's about it (the copyright bullshit he did in the US, for example).
He will never have the tangible and solid evidence of his claims. I'm hoping that he gets into more trouble and face jail time.
He certainly seems to like taking legal action or consider it. A Norway based Twitter user (Hodlonuat), Adam Back (Blockstream) and Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum co-founder) as well as Peter McCormack (journalist) and Ira Kleiman have been in the his sights. Well, the Court battle with Ira Kleiman is the important one because ownership of alleged 1.1 million Bitcoin is at the heart of that legal case. Does Wright really have over 1.1 million Bitcoin in his possession?
