Craig Wright wants a law suit so he can try to fool some dumb judge into saying he’s Satoshi.
I doubt it will work.
The best that CSW could hope is that the judge rules that CSW is not NOT Satoshi.
I think the strategy here is that the law suit will take years and CSW will drag it out. So he can keep a claim that he is Satoshi in the media for the next 5 years. Then when he is certain to lose, he will withdraw the claim at the last second in some grand gesture.
I would be quite surprised if that goof-twat were to actually file anything official that goes beyond the threatening letters.
Threatening letters likely achieve his objectives, but actually filing such an obviously frivolous lawsuit might bring him much mor negative repercussions than any perceived or actual benefit.
Many jurisdictions have
anti-SLAPP legislation... which means that there could be decently severe penalty and fines if CSW (aka faketoshi) were to actually file and possibly become worse if he were to pursue such frivolous lawsuit. If he is consulting with any kind of actual quasi-competent attorney, then the attorney should be aware, even if there could be some advantages in some jurisdictions - and whether anti-SLAPP legislation applies to the jurisdiction in which he were to file (presuming that he is dumb enough to follow through with filing such obvious frivolities).
By the way, he sure is getting a lot of attention recently, including from us.. wasting our valuable wall watching activities on his phoney baloney posturing nonsense.
Interesting. I have not heard of SLAPP before.
He is sending threatening letters from the UK so don’t know if they have SLAPP there.
I am pretty sure that any anti-slapp would only have power depending upon where the lawsuit was filed, and most likely would not have any power in the event that NO lawsuit was filed. Of course, CSW might believe that he is on stronger grounds, if he attempts to file lawsuits in jurisdictions in which his targets already reside, but sometimes, people (especially aspiring worldly peeps like CSW) will argue that they can file anywhere because the internet (and the reputation of the alleged victim, faketoshi in this case) is everywhere.
Some jurisdictions will not be very receptive to those kinds of file anywhere policies, so generally a person would be better off either filing where the target resides or a place where it is clear and unambiguous that the target's behavior would have known to impact, like if the target had bank accounts or a business in a jurisdiction in which s/he may not reside. Most experienced attorneys can play around with these matters to figure out how to play it, and if faketoshi has access to high fallutent lawyers they are usually pretty good at employing tactics to harass people, and frequently they will reach beyond their powers to follow through (evn though you would falsely conclude that they know what the fuck they are doing, they might not,... but they know how to bully people with their money and resources to convolute matters).
