Craig "Faketoshi" Wright saga continues. His team turns against him.

[pawel7777]

No idea if anyone is still interested in the adventures of our good friend, Dr Craig Wright, who, for those who got into Bitcoin recently, claims to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto, but I'm glad to hear that his biggest backer, Calvin Ayre, finally lost a fate and is turning his back on him.
Hopefully this will indicate the end of Wright's strange endeavors. Many found him a good laughing stock, but he did cause a lot of troubles to many individuals, including some Bitcoin developers, with his nonsensical lawsuits.

Do still the community remind of him? I guess not anymore. We dont care and we do know its shit reputation.
Its not shocking that people around him would really turned their backs and they wont really be continuing on playing blind and believing that he's the real Satoshi.

[Odohu]

In my opinion, the court cases, arguments and all the unnecessary and boring discussions are not necessarily. Satoshi have Bitcoin wallets and account in this forum. If Craig claimes to be Satoshi, he should login his account in this forum and make a post to convince the Bitcoin community. On the other hand, let him make a transaction from Satoshi's wallet. If he fails to do any of the above, I will gladly join the group that see him as a laughing stock.

The entire "team" (read: crime syndicate) are all too far beyond redemption whether they stop supporting Faketoshi or not.  What do they think they're going to do after they abandon him?  None of them will ever be seen as reputable again.  They can't regain credibility by admitting that they've been lying for all these years whilst funding Wright's war on this community.  They will always be the crooked stooges that propped up the charlatan.

It will be nice to see the pantomime finally come to an end, but if any of these morally-bankrupt vultures think they're going to attempt some manner of redemption arc because they're now trying to distance themselves from the sleaze, they can think again.  They're forever tarnished by this.  The fact that they're going to constantly divide into ever smaller schisms doesn't detract from the stench.  Don't let them forget it.

Yes, they will eventually continue to be tagged as minions who continue to support Craig's crazy claims which also affects his credibility.
But when they turn against their boss, it even looks ridiculous.

Has Craig's superhero power perished so much that the team that continued to support him is now turning against him?
These people may also be under pressure after all the drama, but no one believes them.

But it's good news when the team turns against Craig and realizes that it was a mistake.
A penance might clear their names, but not completely as the past records will remain and can never be erased.

ayres funding was on the bases of him getting ROI from court cases they win. where he can add  costs the loser has to pay.. however CSW has lost a few cases recently and ayres has only had returns of $1..

ayres wants to de-fund the cases but still wants to kiss CSW ass because CSW also promised ayres returns on media revenue from selling his autobiography and movie rights of the drama, so ayres has not cut ties with CSW

the nchain CEO was just a name plate on a door and only signed on 10 months ago, so although he didnt do due diligence before signing on as a paper CEO he finally looked behind the door and seen the farce

"...our good friend, Dr Craig Wright." When I saw him discussed on Reddit it was always just "Craig Wright", is he a real Dr, or is that fake too?

[OcTradism]

We know Craig Wright is a Faketoshi, not Satoshi Nakamoto. It's clearly and has been proven by many proofs and people in Bitcoin community.

Is it enough to add Craig Wright to your ignore list?

I did it and I don't waste my time to read drama about Craig Wright because a Faketoshi can not become Satoshi Nakamoto, by anyway and at any time in future.

I gathered every Satoshi Nakamoto thread. Another version of that topic, to something like "I gathered every Faketoshi Craig Wright thread." would be interesting and save time of newbies to understand about that Faketoshi.

[adaseb]

Wasn’t he the cause of the crash of Nov 2018. I remember there was heated debate between BSV and BCH and Fake satoshi was saying he is going to start dumping 1 million of his BTC and cause a crash.

And for some reason his threats actually came true and bitcoin lost almost half its value very quickly. Wasn’t until April 2019 before it finally closed above $6K again.

But he has done nothing but negative for bitcoin.

no his drama was not the cause
just like each cycle there is a halving. and then a year later a ATH and then the price corrects back down
2016 halving 2017 ATH 2018 correction period. then 2019 slow rise
much the same as
2020 halving 2021 ATH 2022 correction period. then 2023 slow rise

so expect
2024 halving 2025 ATH 2026 correction period. then 2027 slow rise

That email from Ayre that CAH has leaked is pretty damning. Especially since Ayre now seems to have confirmed that it is indeed real: https://nitter.cz/CalvinAyre/status/1708715551999074457#m

Another interesting tweet: https://nitter.cz/agerhanssen/status/1708995452551446751#m. Wonder how CSW will continue to fund all his sham trials now that Ayre has pulled all his funding?

Let's hope this really is the beginning of the end for this serial fraudster.

He has a doctorate, but given the whole thing is plagiarized, he shouldn't be called doctor: https://medium.com/@paintedfrog/craig-wright-plagiarized-significant-portions-of-his-phd-thesis-and-tried-to-hide-it-80cd8f01459

Of course Forbes would write trashy articles like this that still talk in terms of "Satoshi Nakamoto", because it smells like a user-submitted piece.

Next up is to challenge the UK court ruling in an appeal, though I don't think that can happen as long as Cobra owns the website because he does not want to reveal his identity for CSW to abuse.

[DapanasFruit]

I am not anymore looking at anything related to Craig Wright as really serious and rightly so he has no more clout and influence in the cryptocurrency industry - just like before. Right now, he is definitely a laughing stock, a "moron" with all the cases he filed just to prove that he is the real Satoshi. Anyway, let's take any news about him as just entertainment and on this aspect I think he can be a successful - like a comedian type. Craig Wright is 100% Wrong.

Indeed. On the website it is said that the article was provided by the contributor and this is his own opinion.
I clearly remember that some years ago here on BTT Services section people offered paid Forbes article writing. Now the situation is different, but it seems like such service is still available for the ones who have enough money or influence.

"...our good friend, Dr Craig Wright." When I saw him discussed on Reddit it was always just "Craig Wright", is he a real Dr, or is that fake too?

Good question. I remember at the beginning there was a lot of media coverage labeling him as Doctor, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if that turned out a lie too, or even if the title is real, he probably cheated to earn it.

I did it and I don't waste my time to read drama about Craig Wright because a Faketoshi can not become Satoshi Nakamoto, by anyway and at any time in future.

Unfortunately not all in the Bitcoin community could afford to ignore him. He did make a lot of legal threats and started quite a few lawsuits. I think Greg Maxwell mentioned how much of annoyance it could cause to affected Bitcoin developers, so good to see that (hopefully) he would run out of financial support to carry on.

[DaveF]

Does this really surprise anyone. The grift has run it's course, there is not a lot of new money coming in time to start a new altcoin / shitcoin / scamcoin whatever.
Coming soon, SatoshisNewVision coin. With guaranteed super duper stuff. Just send money now, we will give you something later.

Replace BSV with DITC

Coming just after Dave's Itchy Testicle Coin. Send money now and get your coins.
Dave scratces the itch.
Oops. No more itchy testicle coins to be had. So sorry, but we will keep your money.

-Dave

[franky1]

if CSW is truly no longer having a sugar daddy funding his lawsuits.. maybe now is the time that our general community now sue CSW for a multitude of reasons.

the other part about the ayres defunding is CSW lawsuits involved CSW's time, travel and accommodation expenses being funded by ayres win or lose upfront. so if CSW cant sue people and claim expenses upfront(another reason CSW was soo slapp happy), im sure CSW is gonna take a hit on his income

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Lol, I remember that whole thing and was kinda-sorta paying attention to it when it was happening, and then suddenly it seemed like nobody was talking about it anymore--so it just dropped right off my radar.  Or maybe I just had this section on ignore for too long and missed the chatter.

I'm glad to hear that his biggest backer, Calvin Ayre, finally lost a fate and is turning his back on him.

From what I saw, nobody really believed CW is Satoshi and just saw all of his claims and behavior as a spectacle.  If he lost a supporter, perhaps that supporter is starting to think rationally.  Good job, Calvin!

[avikz]

Lol! Is he still fighting to get recognised as original Satoshi Nakamoto? I thought he has gone back to Australia to start farming. His activities used to bring us comic reliefs. It was hilarious to see his attention seeking behaviour.

It's a good thing that this joker has lost a supporter. It's probably because CW promised them a good amount of money if he was able to establish himself as Satoshi Nakamoto in front of the world. But now his team is realising the reality.

Malicious people usually don't tend to work with anybody, even equally malicious people like them. Specially when their "cooperation" was based on pure profit, their interests and goals align for a short time but it is bound to fall apart as they turn on each other.
