Who exactly is Tobias Lloyd, and could he be Tom Williams?

He could be Tom Williams as much as you or I could be.

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

He could be Tom Williams as much as you or I could be.

Well, even more so since he would have a reason to certify his own key.

True. But anyone could have done so and it wasn't at all necessary for Tom Williams to have that additional certification in order to sign his messages.
The fact that there is so much readily available information on Tobias Lloyd is in complete contrast with all the steps we can see 'Tom Williams' has taken to hide his identity. 

It was always a long shot that Tobias might be someone who knew him.
Judging by Tom's use of i2p and the efforts to hide the whois information - he's not going to be found so easily.

Tobias was very helpful but doesn't have any further information regarding Tom Williams.

I believe the only certificate for mybitcoin.com I would have verified would have been the PGP cert that was used to sign all of the emails.

With PGP (or GPG in the OpenSource community) there is no need to meet each other face to face to exchange certificates.  All encryption and signing is done through a public and private key pair.  So, mybitcoin.com would sign all of their correspondence with their private key.  Then through use of their public key, I can validate that it was actually them who signed it.

Now, in regards to my validation of the mybitcoin.com public key.  When I received a message from mybitcoin.com that was signed AND I confirmed that the data contained within was correct (I.E. the transaction listed matched one I had just placed) I knew the message was authentic, so I would have signed their public key indicating that I trusted this key as an authentic key.  So anything signed with that particular key, I knew I could trust.  All of the verification was done from right here at my desk, so I'm sorry to say, I did not have to meet anyone in person in order to verify the key.  I probably gave the key too high of a signing rating though.  Usually when I'm signing keys I go all or nothing.  So sorry if I mis-led you.

I know this doesn't help you in your search, but I wish the best of luck to you!
Tobias

I have a hard time believing any of this without proof.

I give! I now firmly believe the relic story. I haven't had a good night sleep since my ignore link turned firecracker orange. My hope is that with this post it will return back to normal.

Here to claim the bounty once again (maybe this time for real) ...

A few days ago, Craig Wright's court case posted a redacted document where the Craig described a crime boss.

https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536.187.0.pdf

Most of the Mentions were censored, but they missed one on page 4 from page 3). Over the last few days I've been out-and-out, and I've figured it out.

Here's the real crypto black pill: Bitcoin was a project of a Evil Genius whose full name is Paul Solotshi Calder Le Roux. They are the ones who want to use the Crypto Capital. Unfortunately, they are still in the midst of a law enforcement, and they are going to spend the rest of their lives.

But how does Craig Wright fit into all this?

Craig Wright was an employee of Le Roux, who was a vaguely aware of the Bitcoin project. Craig was an Informant who helped bring down Le Roux, Craig managed (Dave Kleiman) of Solotshi's coins are locked away in secure TrueCrypt volumes (TrueCrypt being another software that Le Roux developed). They have been trying to crack them but with no success.

Another of Craig's long-time friends, Calvin Ayre, has a set of warehouses for computers to try to crack the counter fortunes; his mining activity is simply the first thing to do. Craig is being set up as 'The Real Satoshi' so that when the coins are finally unlocked, they can legitimately sell them off.

The Paul Calder Le Roux / CSW connection is pretty interesting. I can literally smell the stinky root of this story.
