Pretty Certain Dr. Craig Steven Wright is Not Satoshi
by dudetalking

    Dave Kleinman's background does not indicate anything that would point to being involved with bitcoin in any way. His background comes across as Local to regional IT expert. https://www.youtube.com/user/davekleiman1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/computerforensicsexpert

    Craig Wrights Linked-in is pretty odd and beyond showing he owns tons of shadow companies, there is nothing in his past that would indicate he had the skills to create bitcoin. He has tons of IT Certifications, that are not related to cryptography field. Also, I am curious if the media can verify his education credentials. Looking at his CV all his courses are at Charles Sturt University, a relative new for profit school, seems like a vocational university. Not to take away but not exactly what one would picture to be Satoshi's background. https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigswright

    He's discussion at the All Star Panel, was very odd, and not in any way lucid or clear. Here is /u/nullc take on a transcript I made. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3w027x/dr_craig_steven_wright_alleged_satoshi_by_wired/cxsfy8p

    user /u/jarederaj points out a book Wright wrote full of grammatical errors, nothing related to cryptocurrency, digital cash https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3vzgnd/bitcoins_creator_satoshi_nakamoto_is_probably/cxsfeon

    He has listed a US patent for "Registry system" of some kind filed in 2012 and approved in 2014. Very odd. By 2012 He would have been a multimillionaire very odd to file a patent on a registry system that sounds like blockledger document registrations. Patent Description

        The present invention relates to a registry, and particularly a registry suitable for use as an estate registry, a corporate registry or a document registry. http://patents.justia.com/patent/20140359291

Just clearly more questions that answers

Updated:

    Seems that this Satoshi may have defrauded the Australian Government possibly out of 50 million. Pretty Certain has become highly certain that this is not Satoshi. http://www.businessinsider.com.au/the-australian-who-may-have-invented-bitcoin-claimed-to-have-landed-54m-in-taxpayer-funded-rebates-2015-12

    Ok More info. Seems that one of Wrights Companies Hotwire Preemptive Intelligence Pty Limited was in bankruptcy. I think its a little ridiculous that Satoshi would go into bankruptcy on a business, while he is sitting on several hundred million in Bitcoin. Here are the creditor reports and notes. http://www.mcgrathnicol.com/assignments/hotwire-preemptive-intelligence-pty-limited/#

    Ok looking at his main company http://www.demorgan.com.au/index.html#board The board is 4 people, himself, his wife, a guy that works on huts and a retiree. Then you look at the main page of their website:

DeMorgan is a pre-IPO Australian listed company focused on alternative currency, next generation banking and reputational and educational products with a focus on security and creating a simple user experience.

WTF its like Step Brother Prestige worldwide, the first word in entertainment, portfolios, insurance

Updated:

    Damn just noticed that his linked in background has bitcoin tabs all over the place. Saved a screenshot in case it changes: http://imgur.com/Yf8XERJ Cmon this guy is totally playing us.

SGI denies links with alleged bitcoin founder Craig Wright

http://www.zdnet.com/article/sgi-denies-links-with-alleged-bitcoin-founder-craig-wright/


-----------------------

"On Friday afternoon, Charles Sturt University released a statement via email to Mashable confirming Wright completed three qualifications from the university: Master of Networking and Systems Administration, Master of Management (Information Technology) and Master of Information Systems Security.

He was not awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by the university, a Masters in Systems Development or a degree in Psychology as he claimed on his LinkedIn page and in his resume. "

They were probably looking for his private keys.

[TeamButtcoin]

They were probably looking for his private keys.

actually its cuz he's a big-time tax cheat

[monsanto]

                           

[smoothie]

So in other words they raided his house because:

"We want our cut!" 

[TeamButtcoin]

So in other words they raided his house because:

"We want our cut!" 

they want to get their cut back from a man who conned them, you mean

[Quickseller]

So in other words they raided his house because:

"We want our cut!" 

He was apparently having tax problems for some time prior to being revealed as being "satoshi". I would question if the two events were even correlated.

Potential hoax
Wired acknowledged that the trail of evidence leading to Mr Wright could be part of an elaborate hoax.

Asher Tan of CoinJar, Australia's largest bitcoin exchange, said he was skeptical of Wired's claim, pointing out the bitcoin community relies on mathematical proof.

Solid technical proof should be given more weight than speculation, he said.

"There are some methods of doing this," Mr Tan said. These would include "moving bitcoin attributed to Satoshi's personal stash or utilising his personal encryption key (PGP) to communicate.

"These aren't foolproof methods of identifying him, but anyone who publicly stakes a claim to being Satoshi would be expected to demonstrate either of these methods."

The New York Times, which conducted an inconclusive investigation of its own into the matter, has described Mr Nakamoto's identity as "one of the great mysteries of the digital age".

But many in the bitcoin community believe that the identity of the person (or people) behind Nakamoto is irrelevant, since the virtual currency is an open source and community driven technology.  It sure is a fun story though.

there he is!

Thx!

Is Craig Wright an anagram for Satoshi Nakamoto?
 
www.bitcoinsmonster.com

Uhhh...by definition, no.

What a shameless plug for your blog.

[USB-S]

Wait until the CEO news start rolling in

[Searing]

The problem is even if he is NOT satoshi...by the time the press gets done with this and banks saying see open crypto is dangerous..and/if/when he actually is dodging taxes
we are screwed as far as press etc is concerned...lots of fud/panic and such already on this 'speculation'

now if he IS satoshi and did play tax games with other early adopter coins...then with fees and penalties they could go after him for is 1 million btc and auction them off

anyway stuff like that would mean that 'banks closed crypto' would win...fees would stay the same and they would not be worth billions anymore but trillions

FML this is gonna such bad and drag on like GOX for a frigging year imho and we probably will find out he was not satoshi etc..but man all that drama will sure make $$$ for press FUD

[LiteCoinGuy]

"I'm surprised the story didn't mention his linkedin profile, which is one of the more detailed ones I've seen:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/craigswright

Count me skeptical, though. This guy seems to be trying way too hard to make it look like he's Satoshi. Leaked documents to reporters. Edited blog posts - with more suggestive evidence added after the fact. It seems like the work of a conman to be blunt.

Then there's the whole "Top 15 supercomputer" bragging. Who cares, even if it is true?

Satoshi could provide the best evidence for his identity by signing a message with the key pair that received payment from the genesis block. All the other stuff cited in the article can be forged.

Also, I've found no evidence that Tulips "kill grass." Quite the opposite, it seems:

This is some info I found about him

Managing change.

sorry i copas from bitkookos

[p2p]

It's not related to his involvement with bitcoin. What a coincidence that the raid happens within hours of the news article. They are definitely after that private key with the huge stash of bitcoin  

[keystroke]

At least Dorian didn't get raided! I would like to see all of the notOshis get together for a party one day.

of course this story will be pumped though the media in the next 2 weeks. but there is no bad press for bitcoin - it is always free advertising

Maybe the price will hit 100 again. Then I could buy 4 times as many bitcoins than I currently can.

i dont think there will be a big negative effect.


our new "Satoshi" was also fucked my Mark Karpeles

I don't think the police can find the private key if he is Satoshi. Satoshi would hide his keys properly. Satoshi would not doge tax.
