Reading this, quite interesting:

Just read it. Seems really strange that all these emails would "leak" and Craig would be emailing people with the Satoshi email.

I know we have developed the "myth of Satoshi" and Craig seems to shatter that, but it is not based on nothing. Satoshi seemed to be a very private person and very good at covering his tracks. I doubt he would be emailing his lawyer and others with an email that can link him to his pseudonym...just seems sloppy.

The reason a person like Nick Szabo makes more sense as Satoshi is that he acts the way we would expect Satoshi to act.

One theory that is being floated on Reddit runs like this:

Kleiman is Satoshi, and had the keys to the ~1 million bitcoins. He dies, and his USB stick/computer/whatever went to a relative, who doesn't realize what he is holding. Wright knew Kleiman and knew he was Satoshi. So he invents this crazy story about being Satoshi, but that he can't spend the coins because they are all in a trust that was held by Kleiman.

So now Wright comes public claiming to be Satoshi - and sets himself up to launch a lawsuit against Kleiman's relative to get "his" bitcoins back. If Wright pulls this off, he gains the fabled treasure of 1 million bitcoins off Kleiman's estate.

Thoughts pro and con?

I doubt it but it's a better theory than 99% of garbage being posted on this topic over the last couple of days. It's increasingly obvious that despite not being able to present actual cryptographic proof Wright is putting a lot of effort into obfuscation and trying to sway the public opinion, whether it's for his business interests or something else.

I'm finding it a little strange that there's so little mention of Dave Kleiman what with all this noise at present.

We know he was close enough to our friend Craig for Craig to probably be able to inveigle his way into claiming credit for his possible work. He was known to frequent the same places Satoshi popped up. His decline began around the same time Satoshi disappeared. He was very secretive. He was dead clever. He's dead.

I don't get it.
