I believe Craig might have created Bitcoin with help of others, mainly Dave. Time will tell.

I think the most sensible theory going is that Kleiman was the voice of Satoshi on this forum; the times during which he posted seems to suggest he was doing it from the states. I think Wright probably wrote the white paper and had Kleiman edit it.

Here's a good article: http://gizmodo.com/is-dave-kleiman-the-missing-link-in-craig-wrights-satos-1774519534

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Ah on page 8 it says his body was found on April 26th 2013. Someone must have visited to wish him a happy birthday Sad  But he didn't die on that day.

nice, thanks!

this whole story is as ugly as possible and the main reason for the large confusion right now is pure greed.

it seems the hunt for the satoshi million has started.

for me david kleiman is the real SN and wright is just a fucking bastard!

I think that CSW stumbled upon Bitcoin circa 2013 (late 2012 at the earliest) and started concocting a narrative to fit his long con. Stumbling upon the death of David Kleiman, a person who CSW co-wrote with, Craig saw that the pieces of Dave's life fit nicely in what's known about Satoshi. It was just a matter of creating docs to make it look like he and Dave were partners of sorts which I've demonstrated he's done.

Investigative Report
M. E. Case # 130467 Date: April 27, 2013 Investigator: Doug Jenkins
I received a page at nine twenty five p.m. on Friday, April 26, 2013 requesting me
to call Detective Richard Rott, I. D. 5232 of the Riviera Beach Police Department. I
called and spoke telephonically with Detective Rott who informed me that he was
currently located at 3119 Contego Lane investigating the suspected gunshot suicide death
of an adult white male with the body still present at the undisturbed scene and requests
that I respond. I initiated my response to the scene at approximately nine forty p.m. and
arrived at the scene at approximately ten fifteen p.m.
Upon my arrival at the scene, I met with Detective Andrew Hines, I. D. 5578 of
the Riviera Beach Police Department who informed me that the decedent is identified as
Mr. Alan Kleiman. Mr. Kleiman is a forty six year old white male with a date of birth of
January 22, 1967
who was found dead inside his locked and secured residence at about
six ten p.m. this date by his friend, Ms. Lynada Little, 561-951-0152 who had been
unable to make contact with Mr. Kleiman for several days and drove to his house and
was unable to get an answer at the front door.
Ms. Little used her pass key to unlock the
front door and entered the house where she found Mr. Kleiman and called 911 with both
the Riviera Beach Police Department and the Riviera Beach Fire Rescue responding with
fire rescue determining Mr. Kleiman to be dead.
Detective Hines stated that Mr. Patrick Paige, 561-818-9208 is also informed of
the death. Mr. Paige is reportedly Mr. Kleiman’s business partner and he informed
Detective Hines that he last communicated with Mr. Kleiman via text messaging on
Sunday, April 21. The content of the text messages are unknown to Detective Hines.
Also, Mr. Louis Kleiman is reportedly the decedent’s father and legal next of kin.
Detective Rott is reportedly enroute at this time to inform Mr. Kleiman of his son’s of the
death.
Detective Hines further stated that from information obtained thus far from Ms.
Little and Mr. Paige, Mr. Kleiman has been wheel chair bound for several years due to a
remote motorcycle crash. At this time the details involving the date, time, location and
circumstances regarding the motorcycle crash are unknown. However, Mr. Kleiman
reportedly has been medically treated for the past several years through the Veterans
Administration due to the medical issues associated with the motorcycle crash.
Detective Hines stated that upon their entry into Mr. Kleiman’s house, Mr.
Kleiman was sitting in his wheelchair next the bed. There was a semiautomatic handgun
lying on the bed next to the body and what appears to be a gunshot hole into the side of
the bed mattress. Detective Hines further informed me that per Ms. Little and Mr. Paige,
that to their knowledge, Mr. Kleiman did not have any previous suicide threats or
attempts.

 Investigative Report, cont.
M. E. Case # 130467 Date: April 27, 2013 Investigator: Doug Jenkins
Detective Hines stated that nothing in the house has been moved or disturbed
since their entry into the residence.
Detective Hines has no further information at this time.
SCENE OBSERVATIONS:
The is scene located at the above referenced address which is located in the
Woodbine subdivision located in western incorporated Riviera Beach. The Woodbine
subdivision is a gated residential community with a twenty four hour manned security at
the main entrance gate.
The residence is a single family ranch style residence located on Contego Lane
which is a paved two lane street having an east and west orientation with the house being
on the north side of the street and facing south out onto the street. The area is illuminated
with only a few street lights. The house is surrounded on the north, east and west by
similar ranch style houses
The outside house doors and windows are all intact and there is no sign of a
forced entry into the residence. The inside of the residence is fully furnished and has no
sign of foul play, ransacking or anything suspicious. When I entered the house all of the
inside lights are turned on and the air conditioning thermostat is turned on to automatic
with the temperature set at seventy three degrees Fahrenheit with an air vent in the
bedroom blowing air directly on the decedent. There are several open alcoholic beverage
containers (beer, wine, whiskey and tequila) on the kitchen table, a wine rack in the living
room and on a dresser in the bedroom along with what appears to be dried feces and/or
bloody fluid in both a “tracked and spatter” type pattern on the floor throughout the entire
house. The tracked pattern of feces and/or bloody fluid appears to be the same width as
the wheelchair wheels width.
The bathroom medicine cabinet door is standing open when I entered the
bathroom and prescription along with over-the-counter medications for Clindamycin
HCL, Omeprazole, Nitrofurantion Monhyd, Diazepam, Bayer aspirin, Advil PM,
Ephedrine and Backaid are in side he cabinet. Nothing further is remarkable in the
bathroom. There are also several empty push packs of Backaid on the bedroom dresser.
The decedent is sitting in a wheelchair next to the bed and is leaning over to the
left with his head cupped in his left hand and resting on the edge of the mattress. What
appears to be a gunshot is locate in the top edge of the fitted sheet covering the bed
mattress and is a few feet in front of the decedent. This bed sheet has tearing and fraying
Page 2 of 4

 Investigative Report, cont.
M. E. Case # 130467 Date: April 27, 2013
associated with the defect along with black residue surrounding and extending out to the
edges of the defect. A pillow and bed sheet is on the floor between the decedent and the
bed. This pillow along with one of the other pillows on the bed has what appear to be
fecal matter and/or blood on them.
There are a pair of black shoes and two pillows along with several water bottles, a
with a pair of eye glasses, a bottle of whiskey, television remote controller, cell phone,
some type of medallion, a fully loaded ammunition magazine with 0.45 caliber fully
jacketed hollow point ammunition and a semiautomatic handgun on top of the bed
mattress.
The handgun is a 0.45 caliber semiautomatic handgun with a four inch barrel.
The handgun magazine is in the hand grip of the weapon and is fully loaded with Speer
Auto P, 0.45 caliber fully jacketed hollow point ammunition. There is no blood spatter or
blow back on or in the muzzle, on either side of the barrel, frame, slide, trigger guard or
grip. No spent ammunition casing is found inside the house.
Nothing further on noted to the scene.
BODY OBSERVATIONS:
The decedent is sitting on a wheelchair next to the bed and is leaning over to the
left with his head cupped in his left hand and resting on the edge of the mattress as stated
above. The right hand is extended out in front of the torso and is resting against the bed
frame. Both legs are extended out in front of the torso and flexed at the knees and in the
sitting position with the left leg crossed over the right leg at the ankle and both feet
resting on the floor. The body is removed from the wheelchair by Elite Removal Service,
Inc personnel and placed on a sheet on the floor for examination.
The body is cold to the touch and is an advanced state of decomposition with
presence of beginning mummification of the lips and fingertips. Rigor mortis is absent
and non-blanching livor mortis is consistent with the body position. There is the foul
odor of decomposition with marbling, skin slippage and bloating of the body; however,
there is no insect infestation to the body. There is a healed surgical scar the length of the
back at the midline. No other scars or other identifying marks are seen to the body.
The body is dressed in a black tee shirt, black pants and a black pair of socks. No
wallet, jewelry or valuables are on the body. There are no signs of emergency medical
intervention to the body.
No fractures are felt to the bones of the skull or face. There is no injury or trauma
Page 3 of 4

 Investigative Report, cont.
M. E. Case # 130467 Date: April 27, 2013 Investigator: Doug Jenkins
seen to the head. No blood is coming from the ears or mouth, but there is bloody fluid
coming from the nose. The nose and mouth appear to be unobstructed. Both oral frenula
are intact and the teeth are natural with no sign of trauma or injury to the oral cavity. The
irides are brown and are clouded. No scleral or conjunctival petechial hemorrhage is
seen; however, there is bilateral scleral congestive hemorrhage decomposition.
There are no fractures felt to the neck or shoulders. No injury or trauma is seen to
the area and no ligature marks are seen to the neck.
No fractures are felt to the anterior or posterior rib cage. There is no injury or
trauma seen to the torso. The abdomen is distended and taut. The hips feel to be intact.
There are no fractures feet to the bones of the arms, wrists or hands. No injury or
trauma is seen to the upper extremities and the fingernails are short and intact.
No fractures are felt to the bones of the legs, ankles or feet.
The lower
extremities are not visually examined at the scene; however, no defects are seen to the
pants that would suggest underlying injury or trauma.
Nothing further is noted to the body.
I concluded the scene and body examination at eleven ten p.m. There is nothing
further at this time.

 Supplemental Investigative Report
M. E. Case # 130467 Date: April 29, 2013 Investigator: Doug Jenkins
At eleven fifteen a.m. on Saturday, April 27,, 2013 I spoke telephonically with
Mr. Louis Kleiman,, father of the decedent. Mr. Kleiman. Mr. Kleiman stated that he
was not clear of all of his son’s medical issues and that both the local and the Miami
Veterans Administration medical facilities would have the complete records. Mr.
Kleiman further stated that he would be making arrangements for his son’s burial.
At eleven fifty five a.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2013 I faxed a medical request to
the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Riviera Beach requesting a copy of Mr.
Kleiman’s history and physical and mental evaluations be faxed to this office. At eight
twenty a.m. on Monday, April 29, 2013 I received a faxed copy of the requested medical
charts from the Riviera Beach Veterans Administration Medical Center.
At eight fifty eight a.m. on Monday, April 29, 2013 faxed a medical request to the
Miami Veterans Administration Medical Center requesting a copy of Mr. Kleiman’s
history and physical and mental evaluations be faxed to this office. At nine minutes after
five o’clock p.m. on Monday, April 29, 2013 I received a faxed copy of the requested
medical charts from the Miami Veterans Administration Medical Center.
There is nothing further at this time.

Two notes: Referred to as Alan oppose to David/Dave Kleiman; a highly decorated Army dude sans tattoos; Dave's birthday is January 22, 1967 (make that three notes).

Quote
DAVID ALAN KLEIMAN was born 22 January 1967 and he lives (or lived) at 3119 CONTEGO LN in PALM BEACH GARDENS, Palm Beach County, Florida, U.S.A. His voter ID number is 112532265. He registered to vote 10 April 1996 and he is registered with no party affiliation. He is listed as White, not Hispanic.

I believe Craig might have created Bitcoin with help of others, mainly Dave. Time will tell.

It's increasingly obvious that despite not being able to present actual cryptographic proof Wright is putting a lot of effort into obfuscation and trying to sway the public opinion, whether it's for his business interests or something else.

You do not seem to understand the math. Either Craig broke SHA256 or he has Satoshi's private key.

Also by getting core Bitcoin devs and their tribe to claim that the proof Craig provided is not a proof, he has revealed them as being disingenuous. Very clever political game theory he has concocted.

Craig has astutely accomplished his goal, as only 42% of Bitcoiners conclude he can't be Satoshi. And when and if Craig signs coins from an early block of Bitcoin, the level of confusion will increase. Craig is playing a political game theory.

I think bringing in a dead person into this is just a scapegoat by Craig Wright to confuse spectators. If this is true, why would he pretend being Satoshi by signing a fake message? Until Craig comes up with this extraordinary proof he says, I refuse to believe anything that came from him.

Refusing to believe is not the same as proving he is not. Craig is winning the political game theory. He is a clever lawyer mofo.

One theory that is being floated on Reddit runs like this:

Kleiman is Satoshi, and had the keys to the ~1 million bitcoins. He dies, and his USB stick/computer/whatever went to a relative, who doesn't realize what he is holding. Wright knew Kleiman and knew he was Satoshi. So he invents this crazy story about being Satoshi, but that he can't spend the coins because they are all in a trust that was held by Kleiman.

So now Wright comes public claiming to be Satoshi - and sets himself up to launch a lawsuit against Kleiman's relative to get "his" bitcoins back. If Wright pulls this off, he gains the fabled treasure of 1 million bitcoins off Kleiman's estate.

Thoughts pro and con?

Wright might be Satoshi, but not the programmer or cryptographer, but the spokesman. Kleiman was doing the coding and crypto staff, and Wrigth was his mouthpeace. Wright was posting about bitcoin, contacting others by email (Back, Wei, Finlley), writing/helping with the white paper, organizing servers and forums for bitcoin etc.

So technicaly. Wright could be the person writhing under pseduonim Satoshi nakamoto. It does not mean he was alone, nor that he was coding Bitcoin and crypto stuff.

this is mostly the truth. wright may have been never ever involved into Bitcoin until the dead of David Alan Kleiman. and now wright knows nobody can say anything against his crazy stories because satoshi is gone.

Click this quote to read what Gmaxwell and others will respond:

Wholly shit! I am contemplating the possibility that Craig has revealed that who ever created Bitcoin put a backdoor in it!

As I already explained, the signature Craig has provided proves either he has cracked something about the way Bitcoin uses SHA256 or he has Satoshi's private key. Afaics, there are no other mathematical possibilities.

But note this small detail:

You'll note that Bitcoin, for reasons known only to Satoshi, takes the signature of hash of a hash to generate the scriptSig. Quoting Ryan:

Well that isn't so insignificant of a detail when you think more about it in this context.

A cryptographic hash function has a property named collision resistance. Collision resistance is related to preimage resistance in that if we have a way to quickly find collisions, then if the preimage is collision then we also break the preimage resistance for that particular hash value.

Collision resistance is normally stated as the number of hash attempts required to find a collision or the number of rounds to break collision resistance with reasonable hardware. Normally this is exponentially less than computing the SHA256 hash function 2256 times. For SHA256, there are collision resistance attacks up to 46 of the 64 rounds of SHA256 (and 52 of 64 rounds for preimage attack).

So what happens to collision (and preimage in this context) resistance when we hash the hash? Well all the collisions from the first application of hash become collisions in the second hash, plus the new collisions in the second application of the hash thus increasing the number of rounds that can be attacked.

It seems likely that Craig has identified the back door that was placed in Bitcoin as explained above, and used his supercomputer access to find a preimage of SHA256.

If am correct, this is major news and Bitcoin could crash.

I urge immediately peer review of my statements by other experts. I have not really thought deeply about this. This is just written very quickly off the top of my head. I am busy working on other things and can't put much time into this.

You do not seem to understand that linking to your own post doesn't prove anything. Can you post the public key, the message Wright signed, and the signature for everyone to see and verify?

I have now reviewed your analysis and have concluded you are talking out of your ass.

Please provide technical justification.

It's increasingly obvious that despite not being able to present actual cryptographic proof Wright is putting a lot of effort into obfuscation and trying to sway the public opinion, whether it's for his business interests or something else.

You do not seem to understand the math. Either Craig broke SHA256 or he has Satoshi's private key.

You do not seem to understand that linking to your own post doesn't prove anything. Can you post the public key, the message Wright signed, and the signature for everyone to see and verify?

The analysis was provided by others already. The review of that is ongoing here.

You, my friend are peerless; there can be no review of your work.

Do you enjoy being a troll?

Click this quote to read what Gmaxwell and others will respond:

Wholly shit! I am contemplating the possibility that Craig has revealed that who ever created Bitcoin put a backdoor in it!

As I already explained, the signature Craig has provided proves either he has cracked something about the way Bitcoin uses SHA256 or he has Satoshi's private key. Afaics, there are no other mathematical possibilities.

But note this small detail:

You'll note that Bitcoin, for reasons known only to Satoshi, takes the signature of hash of a hash to generate the scriptSig. Quoting Ryan:

Well that isn't so insignificant of a detail when you think more about it in this context.

A cryptographic hash function has a property named collision resistance. Collision resistance is related to preimage resistance in that if we have a way to quickly find collisions, then if the preimage is collision then we also break the preimage resistance for that particular hash value.

Collision resistance is normally stated as the number of hash attempts required to find a collision or the number of rounds to break collision resistance with reasonable hardware. Normally this is exponentially less than computing the SHA256 hash function 2256 times. For SHA256, there are collision resistance attacks up to 46 of the 64 rounds of SHA256 (and 52 of 64 rounds for preimage attack).

So what happens to collision (and preimage in this context) resistance when we hash the hash? Well all the collisions from the first application of hash become collisions in the second hash, plus the new collisions in the second application of the hash thus increasing the number of rounds that can be attacked.

It seems likely that Craig has identified the back door that was placed in Bitcoin as explained above, and used his supercomputer access to find a preimage of SHA256.

If am correct, this is major news and Bitcoin could crash.

I urge immediately peer review of my statements by other experts. I have not really thought deeply about this. This is just written very quickly off the top of my head. I am busy working on other things and can't put much time into this.

 You, my friend are peerless; there can be no review of your work.

You do not seem to understand the math. Either Craig broke SHA256 or he has Satoshi's private key.

Also by getting core Bitcoin devs and their tribe to claim that the proof Craig provided is not a proof, he has revealed them as being disingenuous. Very clever political game theory he has concocted.

Craig has astutely accomplished his goal, as only 42% of Bitcoiners conclude he can't be Satoshi. And when and if Craig signs coins from an early block of Bitcoin, the level of confusion will increase. Craig is playing a political game theory.

I think bringing in a dead person into this is just a scapegoat by Craig Wright to confuse spectators. If this is true, why would he pretend being Satoshi by signing a fake message? Until Craig comes up with this extraordinary proof he says, I refuse to believe anything that came from him.

Refusing to believe is not the same as proving he is not. Craig is winning the political game theory. He is a clever lawyer mofo.

Analysis of what? Please post the facts being analyzed, i.e. the public key, the message Wright signed, and the signature. The thread you linked to doesn't have that.

Your laziness isn't my fault. You find all the links if you click the link I provided to you upthread:
