I don't know if he has the skill to deviate from his current conduct.

Here is a whole thread dedicated to faketoshis.

People claiming to be Satoshi (List of Faketoshis)

Painted frog just did a fantastic analysis of CSWs Phd Thesis which appears to be plagiarized from multiple sources.

Wei Liu and Arthur Van Pelt both registered the copyright to demonstrate how easy it is to lodge a copyright. They both claim "we are all Satoshi" rather than that they wrote the whitepaper.

I didn't know Bruno other then following his posts on Bitcointalk.

It is sad that some of the Bitcoin OGs have fallen victim of scams and even inadvertently and unwillingly participated in them. Leaving them broke in the end.

Certainly one of the most entertaining characters on the forum. (Voted most entertaining person on Bitcointalk 2018).

Craig Steven Wright is discussed here

Debo Jurgen Etienne Guido discussed here

Bilal Khalid(AKA James Caan ) discussed here

Phil Wilson discussed here

Ronald Keala Kua Maria discussed here

<Reserved>

DISCLOSURE: I don't believe any of these people to be Satoshi.



Debo Jurgen Etienne Guido - Belgium - (Copyrighted whitepaper)
Ronald Keala Kua Maria - Hawaii - Claims to be Satoshi but curiously trademarked "Bitcoin Cash"
Jörg Molt - Germany
Craig Steven Wright - Australia / United Kingdom (Copyrighted whitepaper & claims copyright over the bitcoin database)
Bilal Khalid(AKA James Caan ) - Pakistan / United Kingdom
Phil Wilson (aka Scronty) - New Zealand
Peter Benjamin -Benjamin Capital Management Group - USA (TeamSatoshi - Unsuccessfully Sued Craig Wright in the UK)
"Satoshi Nakamoto" represented by Robert
 Meyring - Meyring Law - USA (Current lawsuit in the US)
Panda Batterham - USA ?
"Satoshi Nakamoto Real" - Russia (Corresponded with "Hell Finny" <sic>)
Lance the Bali "Satoshi" (originally from Texas).

These are people that have publicly stated that they are Satoshi Nakamoto. Other than Phil Wilson who claims to have worked with Craig Wright all of them claim to have worked independent of each other.

This all started on twitter where a conversation between Arthur van Pelt, Pete Myers and Adam Back came up with a brilliant suggestion:




Have I left off any notable claimants from my list ?

Any suggestions on who should be hosting the event ?

I have often seen people with a list of "thinks to ask and do" crumble under pressure in court or in a pressure setting. Wright would have known Gavins strong desire for being shown a demonstration of proof. Wright would have carefully spelled out his demands and "walked away" if he felt the ruse wouldn't work due to his demands not being met. With other situations his temper and demeanor resulted in him intimidating others or throwing his toys out of the cot. Gavin appears to be a relatively placid character.

To verify it properly it either needs to be able to pass public scrutiny or requires a "James Randi" of Crypto to verify it properly using carefully prepared tests. The demonstrator should never set the limits or scrutiny of the test.  The test needs to be designed by those that verify it.

Wright has the perfect chance to prove it in the Kleiman and McCormack case. Where the court determines conduct and demeanor. The lawyers and experts will determine the tests.

If he does not utilize the opportunity to prove it then he will still be held liable for his claims. For the case to succeed they do not have to prove that he is or isn't Satoshi. They just have to prove that his conduct means Kleiman is eligible for compensation.

Under "fair comment" McCormack only has to prove that based on the publicly available information that in McCormacks opinion he is not Satoshi.

The BSV camp will try to claim victory while facing complete failure. Because despite the claims that evidence will be provided by Craig that he is Satoshi I am of the opinion that it will not stand up to scrutiny.

Theymos created the first block explorer. I think that is an accomplishment on its own merits. There are plenty of people around on this forum that are less well known and have made massive contributions to bitcoin and crypto in general.

Just a few of them.

Craig Wright on the topic of  Hodling or rather hoedeling as he pronounces it.

"Hoedeling is probably the most despicable evil thing you can do with bitcoin"

Says the the man who claims to control the bitcoins mined by Satoshi that have never been moved.

UPDATE:



CSW appears to have been banned from Twetch

Someone must have reported it. I wouldn't. It is still visible here if it makes you feel better. http://loyce.club/notifications/897509.html

Being called a pretender is fairly warm coming from you. Usually the words you use on the forum are much harsher.     Even my friends sometimes call me a cunt.

It must be frustrating that you have to make multiple sockpuppet accounts in order to bypass peoples "ignore list" . Yet considered insignificant and not even get a mention on a troll list. Ultimate fail. Cannot even make it as a troll.
 

There is no intent to include every drama or even a complete analysis of every drama.

If I write more about certain people I will be accused of giving them more "airtime" - If I write less I will be accused of selectively adding people.

TECSHARE you are not really in a neutral position to judge what is neurtal.

Something that is "written from a neutral perspective" cannot ever be completely neutral . I'm also not an expert on anthropology.

The intent of this thread is to provide people who are not familiar with the forum dramas a small glimpse or insight of what the drama is about.

It is up to the reader to investigate further if the want to know more detail. I believe I have included most prominent disputes.

Cryptopia ruling has just been made in the high court. If you are an account holder I recommend following the Cryptopia twitter account.
https://twitter.com/Cryptopia_NZ/status/1247765372444409859

Since a ruling has been made regarding how the crypto funds are to be treated it is likely that they will announce a formal process that will need to be followed to claim back your crypto.

This is good news in a shit situation.

It means that is you own xyz coin it is held separate from abc coin. It is not such good news for creditors of the company or holders of coins that were affected by the hack.

From my understanding it means that the losses are not socialized but each coin category owns the coins that are held by the company in trust for those coin owners and will be need to be returned as coins rather than $.

New Zealand law views crypto as property rather than currency. This does give stronger ownership protection.

The most important paragraph of the ruling.



As I predicted in May 2019:

I've included that now. Theymos v Lauda

I've also included the Russian dispute.

I try to be neutral with the topic regardless of my personal opinion. But if you feel that it misrepresents what happened. Please let me know.

I've added it to the list. It is probably very symilar to the rest of the issues some members have with OG.

It is a pity that it wasn't resolved in the last round of forgiveness and reconciliation.  I was pleased to see that the war with QS has stopped.

It is quite hard to believe at this stage that Jimmy Nguyen does not know that they are trying to serve him. Calvin Ayre has commented on the post and it would be hard to believe that he would not pass on such a message unless he was deliberately not telling him.




While there probably will be no legal consequences for dodging being served - it could be construed as showing contempt to the court process.

I believe Jimmy Nguyen was a US lawyer. Showing disregard for the court process may make it more difficult to be re-admitted to the bar in future. (Just an observation)

In civil cases judges are often reluctant to apply criminal sanctions. It is more likely that civil sanctions are applied.

According to the O'Hagan version of events - CSW fled Australia. Kleimans lawyer stated in one of the court documents that the Australian authorities had made contact with him.

A detrimental outcome for him is inevitable.

Whatever the outcome - any penalties will always be interpreted by his groupies as confirmation that he is being persecuted for being Satoshi
