Here is another weird Craig Wright issue that I've been mulling over.
Back in November, so-called @BitcoinBelle moderated a so called "All-Star Panel" at a bitcoin conference, that included Ed Moy, Joseph VaughnPerling, Trace Mayer, Nick Szabo, and good old Craig Wright.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdvQTwjVmrEThis was shortly before the so-called leak of Craig being SN. At the time, Craig was not well known in the bitcoin panelist world, and did seem to stand out as being less of an "All-Star" than others. (Szabo in particular seemed to think he was a a fool).
When the Craig / SN "leak" surfaced shortly thereafter, many wondered why Craig was at the meeting, and whether @bitcoinbelle was involved in some way. (And note that my comment describing the ATO tax credit fraud angle on Craig was in that chain, which to toot my own horn, was one of the earlier detailed articulations of this theory, as far as I know.)

@BitcoinBelle @01101O10 @iang_fc @haq4good JVP, supposedly met Satoshi in 2005 and has his picture. I'm sorry but I call bullshit
JVP = Joseph VaughnPerling = @haq4good

@MrHodl @01101O10 @iang_fc @haq4good told me that almost a year ago so I invited him to be on the panel. Figured he'd recognize his voice.

@BitcoinBelle
@haq4good @dakami You told me that you spoke to Satoshi many years ago and that he was definitely not Craig. What changed your mind?
And:

@BitcoinBelle @dakami A closer look at his face.

@haq4good @dakami Huh Well you had that chance at the panel and insisted his voice was not the same either. Regardless, you lied then or now
So, the sequence seems to be that @bitcoinbelle was instrumental in getting Craig into that panel. Part of the motivation was to put JVP and Craig in the same room, probably because Craig had intimated to her that he was SN and a "leak" was imminent. JVP initially denied that Craig was SN, and later changed his tune.
JVP could have denied the connection because he was keeping SN / Craig's identity secret. Or, maybe JVP really didn't connect Craig with SN, but later had some reason to support the Craig = SN story for unknown, and possibly suspect reasons.
And, FWIW, @bitcoinbelle currently seems to think that Craig is a fraud. She claims he hacked her twitter, and that he turned kind of pervy on her.

(Also, I'm not sure exactly how twitter links function, you may have to click "viewconversation" on the links I provided to see the back and forth).
Yeah... Wright's participation on that panel was a bit awkward with his initially vague introduction that included a lot of credentialing and lack of specifics regarding what he did and does, and then his theorizing about bitcoin and how everyone is getting it wrong without anyone really knowing who he is. And, then finally his biggestdickus references to his supposed ownership and/or control over the world's largest supercomputer and without any real specifics about why such a computer is needed ... except maybe the inference of needed for use in scams... hahahaha
