Let's put things into sequence: Wright is not Satoshi but there's an article which claims that he can probably be him. Then this guy get raided by the australian police. If there was no article we would have never heard of him. My question is why and what this really have to do with bitcoin?

"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. "

Yeah that is the real Satoshi account, pretty sure it has been locked though.

So his so called supercomuter does not exist it seems.
That guy is nothing more than pure vaporware.A storyteller!
I hope nobody here is really believing all this crazy talk him being Satoshi.He definitely is not!

[Gleb Gamow]

So, the guy who people think is Satoshi (Nick S), is speaking with the guy who is claiming to be Satoshi? Interesting!  

Complete with Michelle Seven-cum-Darla blessed to be in the presence of Our Gang perplexed as to whom Dr. Craig Steven Wright was asking him if he's an investor, miner, what. A few minutes later, Ms Seven ask Mr. Wright to elaborate on the Twitter exchange between her and Craig most recently while the rest of the panel facepalms.

[Gleb Gamow]

A simple fact that this guy was dodging tax paying smells really bad to me. Why would a guy that has left this technology to us, to the world not pay his taxes. A guy that has millions and millions of dollars worth of Bitcoin?!

I mean this is a person that really tried to change the world for the better with this technology.

All this story is a complete BS if you are asking me.

It not a matter of not paying his taxes, but of Craig Wright receiving an approved tax rebate of 45 cents for every dollar he spent in his endeavor masked on real money loans using a paper wallet as collateral held by another endeavor in Craig's control. The paper wallet supposedly represent all the bitcoins Satoshi mined complete with a QR code to prove to the ATO reps that it's legit.

That's why Craig left the country (Australia) - he fucked the ATO to tune of millions based on an elaborate hoax, all the while he was cryin' because Mt Gox supposedly still has control of some of Craig's bitcoins.

It's not that he didn't pay tax, it's that he defrauded the government out of $54m through bogus R&D he claimed he spent non-existent Bitcoin on (backed up by his secret claims to have been Satoshi). Now it's all come out in the wash that he's a fraud and the Aussie police are out for him. Hence why I think they may have been behind the leak. Why spend a lot of time and money investigating something you know very little about when the Bitcoin community can out the guy in a couple of hours?

Okay, I'll admit that you said it more elegantly.

Yes, it have been locked by theymos since that last security breach on the forums where hackers got access to emails and accounts database.
There was a possibility that they also gained access to satoshi's account.

CEO Craig Steven Wright said Denariuz Bank would begin accepting deposits in the second half of 2014 and would eventually offer Bitcoin-based equivalents of conventional savings accounts, term deposits, credit and debit cards, and loans.

Wright said Denariuz would launch with a global pool of more than 100,000 Bitcoin ($A73.6 million) from its backers.

Eventually, the bank hopes to have a million customers globally.

Wow.

Nice find! I've been waiting for such to eventually come to light.

[Wapinter]

The guy is not the real Satoshi Nakamoto! The way I see it. it is nothing but an Hoax, and the Media is making a lot of money over it. The real Satoshi will never go public.

The real Satoshi must be enjoying all the drama going in his name. Lucky craig he may not have the fortune that real Satoshi has but now he has as much fame as Satoshi has.Both are in news again because of each other

Just like the other storyteller, John Fitzpatrick, who also was planning to build the worlds largest computer array to mine bitcoins. His elaborate hoax cost folks jobs in Portland, OR, at a university: http://www.kgw.com/story/news/2015/08/28/psu-foundation-leader-resigns-wake-dubious-100m-pledge/71310294/

http://www.oregonlive.com/education/index.ssf/2015/08/portland_state_university_pres.html



John Fitzpatrick conducted interviews in front of a ritzy resident claiming that he lived there, later for everybody to discover he did not. Surprise, surprise!

The real Satoshi is in that video, looking up at Wright and laughing at him as he introduced himself and then proceeded to postulate that Bitcoin was turing complete.

[DimensionZ]

Maybe Satoshi Nakamoto is a woman? Has there been evidence that the creator is clearly a man?

I hears a detective in this raid confiscated 7 different sets of keys in his house, all beacuse there was a key tag marked with a P for Private.  Little did he know, these were not the private keys everyone was looking for.  Needless to say, the detective was not happy when he could not find a place on the computer to insert the key..

It looks like there was tax fraud prior to that as well.  

Hotwire was only incorporated in June 2013 and the ATO withheld a $3 million GST refund for the September 2013 quarter, which is what precipitated the insolvency of Hotwire.  So in their first quarter of operation they submitted GST claims which the ATO did not find legitimate.  The ATO also with-held R&D credits of $9.6 million for Hotwire.  

De Morgan is another Wright company and the one which is under investigation for the $54 million R&D rebate claim.  Apart from any tax fraud issues arising from this investigation, there are also potential securities fraud issues.  It's a public company and that creates its own legal issues.

It's probably worth pointing out that the AFP is our federal police.  They both investigate in their own right and provide support to government departments in investigating high value or novel crimes which break federal laws.  They also assist the state police forces where appropriate.  

It's beyond ridiculous to believe that ordinary people can understand Bitcoin but federal agencies whose job it is to investigate financial crimes cannot.  While the use of Bitcoin in this particular situation is novel, it's not like it hasn't featured in other investigations in the past - especially those related to Silk Road.  The potential for it to be used for money laundering/terrorism financing has been acknowledged by federal agencies for a long time.  They get how it works and they have both the resources and the authority to access data which no-one else can.  These guys investigate complex financial crimes all the time.

I also think you're over-estimating the value of the "Bitcoin community" in investigations such as this one.  The Bitcoin community has been largely unaware of this guy and he certainly wasn't on their "is this guy Satoshi" radar before any more than Ross Ulbricht was on their radar prior to the Silk Road busts.  The community at large would not be aware if he's managed to acquire $30 million in Bitcoin in ways which aren't recorded in the blockchain.  The individuals who would have knowledge of such transactions would have their own compelling motives for remaining silent.

Any news on the Craig Wright = Mystery GAW/Paycoin whale investor "Craig" = Paycoiner Tankjnr theory?

If true, the massive irony created by Satoshi Nakamoto being a Paycoiner hanging out with the fucking imbeciles on Hashtalk could in fact affect the gravitational constant of the entire Universe and cause a severe distortion in the current reality vector.
