So, CSW taking the stand today in Florida.
What's the over/under on him being charged with contempt within the first two hours of him being on the stand?
*sigh*
My hope for that sort of thing is fairly low. I feel like hes going to get away with very little bad happening to him at all.
Perhaps I am just projecting my fears.
I will be VERY happy to have been wrong.
I think he's playing with fire. All it takes is pissing off a judge once. Then it's all downhill from there.
What I hope is the judge is able to see what the meta game is he's trying to play. He has made it very clear online.
It's all part of a long con. But there are several sub cons going on at the same time.
Here is what I see as the big story arc:
1. Establish via the court systems that he is SN.
2. Use the courts to try to force the Bitcoin devs to give him control over a list of blocks he claims to own without having to use the private keys.
The courts have been fairly clear that they are not trying to decide whether he is Satoshi or not, I think. But one possible thing is they could claim he owes billions of dollars worth of BTC to the plaintifs. And if so I think the plan is to say he's lost the keys to those blocks and the only way he can get the money to pay the plaintif is if the court orders the BTC devs to basically code his access into Bitcoin Core.
That is a thumbnail of the long con. And it is entirely ridiculous. BUT the only thing that scares me is BTC has BIG enemies at the nation state level. Depending on how corrupted our world is, I could imagine a scenario in which the courts were told to do it. The is far fetched and nearly impossible to imagine.
The lesser con is to convince his faithful of the above plan. That is what the BSV people are believing is the way at this point. LAW is going to grant him the access to those blocks, and he is going to crash BTC and buy all the BSV with it and usher in his kingdom. And they will dump all their BSV that they have collected up over time (?) on them. Another angle here is they fail to get any traction on their plan to rewrite the BTC client to give him millions of coins, but they have well prepared the failthful to allow him to take those blocks on BSV. So I think that's the last level fallback. (Obviously legal claims on BCH will also be made, and probably fare as badly as they will on BTC)
Or perhaps Calvin Ayre is the anti-christ, and CSW is his prophet. And BSV is the mark of the beast. A panopticon of evil.
You think I am joking with that last part... but there are people who believe this line as well, and I think CSW has played into the image with all the red socks etc... The anti-christ is indeed called "the father of lies". It kinda fits.
I seriously hope the courts crush him, and we can really start to put this chapter fully in the rear view.
Once he gets the judgement saying he owns either 50% or 100% of unchallenged addresses he pulled from his ass, the way i see it play out is:
1-He forks BSv, unlocks all of the coins. In order to build up his Faketoshi goodwill, right away he burns most of them and donates remainder to lost puppies and overweight children.
2-He starts suing everyone he can, anyone who ever did a git commit for Bitcoin to force them to unlock the BTC coins for him.
3-Obviosuly that won't get any traction, after he administers maximum amount of pain on the devs, he'll then try to fork BTC himself. Claiming that after the fork, anyone that'll continue to use "legally non compliant" chain will be a criminal and promise to sue every single person.
4-Send multiple preemptive lawsuits to the biggest players he can think of (Visa/Google/Amazon whatever gets him the most attention)
5-Despite no one following his fork, he slithers into oblivion a filthy rich man, because they front ran/shorted before his every grand announcement.
or at least that's how i'd play it out
