Do media stories count as "evidence" in any court?
If, and it is a big IF, this thing is real, then he has done it because he wants to signal that he is about to sell his coins to pay his debts/taxes or whatever. Just moving them would be a complete shock, announcing and then moving not so much - presumably if he wants to sell he cares about not tanking the price before he has off-loaded them.

he has no coins.
the 2009 stash is not his
relax..
and by the way in court all you need to do is provide "reasonable doubt" to not be found guilty. there are a multitude of ways to do it. but showing 20 media outlets publish the story. is sometimes the same as using a police officer as a witness.. yea they can lie but its the reputation of the 'witness' that ends up meaning more then the actual evidence provided.
No court worth their salt would use media reports. They would need Gavin to take the stand to accept his opinion.

in the UK many many legal investigations and internal political and criminal reports have been made purely on the bases of media stories used as sources..
Evidence? I can't think of a single case where a news report was held up in court as evidence. Usually you need something else - testimony under oath, DNA stuff, access to actual paper files or electronic files. There has never been a single case where they have said "Your honour, it is in the newspapers and therefore it is true".
All the judge has to do in this case is order Craig Wright to move his coins to a court escrow address to prove he owns them. If he can't, he doesn't own them. Therefore the only reason I can think of for this circus is that he is intending to actually sell the coins.
yea after the afp raided him for his tax issues not long after he was first speculated to be Satoshi they came out and said they firmly believe theres no chance he's Satoshi and probably planted the evidence to distract from his court case so unless there is evidence they can verify then they will be fully aware that hes just trying to do it again
