Faketoshi's new attempt to attack bitcoin

[pawanjain]

Another preposterous act from Mr. Faketoshi (Craig Wright) has been on the internet today and this time he is attacking the bitcoin core developers but in vain.
He allegedly claims that bitcoin core developers are to be held responsible for the $5 billion worth of bitcoins he claims to be stolen in Feb 2020.
Anybody with their right minds will never try to sue the developers of an opensource project for something which usually happens by their own mistakes.
But here we go again, Craig Wright has gone nuts again for his cheap ideology and attempts to attack bitcoin.
He believes it will create new implications on how bitcoin operates and it's users. I wonder how low can he fall just to attack bitcoin again and again.


More info at : Craig Wright demands that ‘Bitcoin developers’ return him $5 billion in BTC

P.S : The article also highlights that Craig Wright has admitted through his lawyers that he was the guy to steal 80k BTC in the Mt.Gox hack.

I read, and I can’t believe what a crazy idea this Faketoshi has come up with now - so how will the developers give him back something that was allegedly stolen? It is amazing that this maniac is also suing himself.

As such, the lawyers argued, developers of Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Cash ABC, and Bitcoin SV must do their best to return the ostensibly stolen funds as “a result of the high level of power and control they hold over their respective blockchains.”
Ironically, Wright is an outspoken proponent of Bitcoin SV and promotes the idea that it is the “real” Bitcoin—but it didn’t stop his lawyers from coming after BSV developers as well.

It's amazing that someone thinks that every time BTC is stolen from someone, the developers will place some kind of magic code that will then fix the thing. Just when we think we've seen it all, some new, even crazier idea comes up.

Think about it. When someone steals your bitcoin through whatever method, what would the thief do? Obviously, send out the coins to a different wallet that's not in your possession as so you lose access to the coins; you know, like a normal hacker? But apparently, the "thief" knew that CSW was stupid enough to not have a backup so the thief had no need to send the coins out. Some stupid scenario like that. This fucking guy, seriously.

[Yogee]

I don't recall stolen BSV from hacked exchanges but would CSW be willing to pay if the exchange owners sue BSV and it's developers?

The lawyers are sucking out money from this man and he can't think of better ways to get more in funding his battle to prove that he is Satoshi.

[bL4nkcode]

The lawyers allege that Wright’s personal computer was hacked in February 2020, resulting in the theft of two private crypto keys that ostensibly belonged to him.

His coins were claimed hacked and now forcing the bitcoin developers to bring it back, lmao. Another show that this monkey and his fellow lawyer monkey telling that they does not know how blockchain and bitcoin work and still claiming he's a computer scientist and satoshi.

This guy does a lot to get attention, and he successfully receives it. It's indeed crazy that he's demanding billions of dollars from developers. Speaking of stolen things, how's his lawsuit vs Kleiman going? I think he was supposed to give half of the money he allegedly has because of being Satoshi, like, a couple of years ago. How come he still didn't show the proof, didn't give Kleiman's family the money, and yet he's still not in prison?
And with all that going on, my friend is STILL convinced that Craig is the real Satoshi...

Apart from that there are two things to highlight

1. The article highlights that he himself admitted to be the man behind the Mt.Gox hack
    If so then should all the people who lost their bitcoins in the hack sue Craig Wright for billions of worth of bitcoin?

2. Faketoshi claims himself to be the real Satoshi
    If so then shouldn't we all sue him since we all would have lost some bitcoins at some point. Will he be responsible for that ?

This man never stops amusing us  It's actually good to have CW around. There should be one funny man to talk about at least

I just heard about this briefly yesterday and his counter suing attempt but didn't realize it was against all core developers.
Is he completely nuts?
I guess being in restriction isolation for the past few months gave him enough time to come up with an even more epic fail than anyone could imagine even by his standards.
But you know the saying about animals are at their most dangerous is when cornered.

[sunsilk]

This guy is totally out of his mind. I don't know where he's getting all of the strength and courage for doing such a thing. Looks like he's serious with what he's doing.

He should just give up and forget about the attention that he's asking because he's getting what he wants. Well, if he's the real satoshi he just pulls those million bitcoins to cover whatever mend he's asking, and thus, there are still those forked coins that he can just simply take. He's on another level of attention seeking.

[meanwords]

Faketoshi back at it again. Like what is this? trying to take legal actions on the developers of Bitcoin? but who is this developers that he is referring to then? since Bitcoin is an open source. Also what's this:

“the fact that someone has stolen Tulip Trading’s digitally-held private Bitcoin keys does not prevent developers from deploying code to enable the rightful owner to regain control of its bitcoin.”

I don't think that's how it works, no? you can't just magically deploy a code to let the owner of that said stolen Bitcoin to get their Bitcoin again. This guy really needs to go with his shenanigans.

[kotajikikox]

The more he attacks Bitcoin is the More popularization Bitcoin gains so Do we really want this Faketoshi to stop ?
or just let Him do Crazy claim for our own benefits .

We already acknowledge His Lack of attention so always trying to make one just to be a  talk of the community but it helps us grow at some point .

The whole crypto already knew Him well , and if there are some one who will Buy His story , those are newbies and Noobs or His own follower.

[concept2]

Well, I dont know what to say about this man anymore. He truly wants to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto by any contrivances. However, the more he try to attack bitcoin and its network, the more bitcoin become popular. SO does it really necessary to stop him from doing things like that?

I definitely don't think this is benefiting us at all. With him attacking developers left and right, instead of the developers focusing on actually developing and improving Bitcoin, now they have to spend a good chunk of their time working with lawyers and such. This crap is definitely slowing us down.

Yes, I believe someone should still stop him. You might not be getting affected but his legal actions are really a bother. He is wasting the time of the developers and he is fooling the newbies with his lies. Though his most recent evidences are just trying to make him dig deeper his own grave by admitting he is the owner of the hackers wallet of Mt. Gox

[Lorence.xD]

I haven't heard of Craig Wright for a while. He always makes a scene whenever cryptocurrency is gaining a lot of attention. He should learn to stop claiming he is Satoshi, no one is taking him seriously and it is sometimes really annoying. I just hope that the real satoshi cones out and slaps this man on his face.

On other reality, CSW might have been the real satoshi and the people just doesn't believe him. But in this reality, it is clear that CSW just wants to stay relevant because bitcoin is getting the attention of prominent people so he has to fit in as the crazy one so they can work with him. I doubt that the real satoshi is going to come out any time soon, it's been a decade since he was gone and I think that we just have to accept that there won't be any revelation on satoshi's identity.

There is no reality in the universe where CW Faketoshi could be the person who invented Bitcoin - just read some posts written by Satoshi and compare it to Faketoshi - for anyone with a little common sense it is quite clear that these are different people.

I doubt that the real satoshi is going to come out any time soon, it's been a decade since he was gone and I think that we just have to accept that there won't be any revelation on satoshi's identity.

This time it's not about who the real Satoshi is, but about Faketoshi going in the direction of a lawsuit against the developers because someone allegedly hacked his computer and stole the BTC. Even if he shows up, a real Satoshi couldn’t stop these lunatics from still claiming that they are actually real Satoshi.

So Cobra made a post about how the community should mobilize to support the developers. When it comes to this, I think, and hope, that those who can actually support with their wealth are probably all known to each other and in touch to coordinate against this.

When it comes to support from the general crypto-community, i think most of the "masses" are actually busy with the bull run or alternate interests to actually care about what happens.

Though I think this drama has had its anti-climatic twist with his lawyer's claiming that the 1FeeX address which drained Mt. Gox fund was controlled by CSW. Someone sued him back pointing that out too. Overall, i doubt that Faketoshi's claims will ever amount to more than a web of lies and deception under the scrutiny of a true, old judge. It is still important that the devs have their own billionaire friends to defend them from this billionaire idiot and his trolls.

Desperate person will always do desperate actions , even if this makes Them Look fool and stupid ,  what they only want is to at least damage the reputation of their target and this is what Faketoshi is doing now.

Just like a desperate animal that being caught by hunters , Will do anything to bite before them getting killed.

Why don't he just fork BTC or BSV and print another 21 million coin to his own address?

He probably understands that forking BSV, which effectively cuts the already small community down to half(or less than half), would probably end up totally killing the project(as if it wasn't dead already). Hope he does it though, very excited to see Bitcoin Craig's Vision!

At least it's proof he don't have influence on BSV as big as some people perceive.

Hope he does it though, very excited to see Bitcoin Craig's Vision! 

Can't wait what kind of feature he bring to BCV, but i bet he'll bring feature such as control key over BCV network

Additionally, if we use tree visualization, the coin position is very deep
