Man who falsely claimed to be bitcoin creator sentenced

Finally, Craig Weight gets what he deserves. In fact, getting him in jail might not be enough, he should also be given counselling so that he will realize all his wrong doings in the past. I just hope that after his imprisonment, he will stop pretending being Satoshi because obviously the people are already so sick about that.

That's how he makes bread - with the fuzz around his persona.
But I do think the punishment would stop him from doing so in the future, albeit, if the case would conclude in such a way.
Being a suspended case - don't think that's the end of his legend

About time that he's put in a place that is well deserved for people like him, let him cool off in jail, we'll see if a correctional facility will correct his character. He's lucky to get only a six month sentence, I think that he deserves to stay longer than that in jail as a deterant to others that will want to follow his footstep in the future. Satoshi, has created Bitcoin and decided to stay anonymous for a good reason, so that there'll be no claim to ownership of Bitcoin by any individual, group or country, so that it'll be truly decentralized. I won't be surprised if he comes out and starts all over again, if he does, I hope that he'll keep going back to jail until he learns to stop

Personality like Craig Wright might not easily changed especially that his goal has not been achieved yet. Most likely, after getting out from jail, he will try to loose a little but will still find ways on how to make things favor on him. Unfortunately, no matter what he’ll do, or no matter what kind of drama he will bring to the public, people won’t believe him anymore. But even though he failed on his attempt, but surely he gained the attention that he wanted to achieve from the people around.

Craig Wright is one of our many entertainments during the emergence of bitcoin. So he will continue to claim himself Satoshi with all the nonsense, it can be said that Craig Wright has lost his shame. Not only once did he make demands on developers, but the results always returned to the point where he was nobody. Oddly enough, the media continues to raise his name and that will only make Craig Wright seem to be recognized.

A person can be recognized as a genius or a fool by the community / populace. Generally, this stigma is stuck to him / her and stays with him till his end.
I do think we agree on which side of the spectrum Craig is.

I think he got what he deserved for being a hypocrite and claiming who he was not.He has made claims that he was part of the team of professionals involved in the creation of the now well known decentralized digital currency,"BITCOIN".
Earlier this year, Wright lost a high-profile lawsuit against the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a nonprofit representing cryptocurrency firms.And  recently he faces one-year prison sentence that was suspended for two years and was ordered  to pay 145,000 British pounds in costs. That means he won't face prison unless he violates the court order again during that time.

The one with 145k is already mentioned in the OP, but I digress - he got what he deserved.
I think some people just don't change and stay the way they are. Fishy and non-sincere.

There are many other ridiculous things that might be revealed and he will never stop making these claims to convince anyone. But this does not need to be thought about because he is full of entertainment and the question should be why the media always raises the issue. Is this correlation deliberately created to create a commotion or does he dare to pay the media to continue writing his ridiculous story. He made a statement as one of the people involved in the creation of bitcoin and he even started to dare to say he was Satoshi Nakamoto.

In fact, if he really is Satoshi Nakamoto, then I am sure he will not reveal his identity because it will make the level of security in his life more dangerous. That is what underlies me to consider him making jokes that are unreasonable and have no correlation with the creator of bitcoin.

Media is there to create fuzz for us to listen and discuss.
 
It wouldn't change, and it's great when we are acknowledging the fact that we already know what would probably happen next. Or that we don't need to give our attention to such a matter.

For some people who already know bitcoin well, it does not have any effect and it will even be a joke that might be entertaining, but for some other ordinary people, they might give a different assessment because they think what is the benefit of him doing all this and being willing to be punished just because he wants to say that he is the creator of bitcoin. The influence of the media can sometimes have an effect on the general public who do not have the ability to recognize the truth.

Even though it did not have any effect on bitcoin after he made a noisy statement, it was a joke that was quite entertaining for me. So forget about it and keep focusing on collecting it so that we don't miss the best moment when bitcoin reaches its next ATH.

Ahh what a beautiful thing.  I've actually spoken with him a few times over Twitter and he was always an arrogant prick who was constantly making shit up and things that are pretty easy to understand he's making up.  Kind of mind boggling really. 

I am shocked to hear that even on his way in to jail he's still trying to sue people, which I guess this guy is just never going to give up when it comes to fighting this fake battle.  Fake it until you make it , I guess..

It was a suspended sentence.

What is suspended sentence ?


Now this news will alarm other fraud people who had been trying to prove that they are fake Satoshi. This identity of Satoshi can be misused in multiple ways so it is important that some fraud person is not established as Satoshi. I think the bitcointalk community will be also having good role in exposing this fraud Satoshi.
