Judge orders Craig Wright to pay over $1M

[Lucius]

Why is this person trying so hard to prove that he's Satoshi Nakamoto?

Maybe because he is a pathological liar who is also encouraged by the fact that he has found rich sponsors who generously finance his "endeavors", and they obviously have no idea that he has no chance of proving that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

If he was, he could simply login to this forum and make a post and clear it out.
What an idiot I would say. What's your thought on this?

Logging into the forum by itself would not prove anything even if Satoshi's account had not been banned for security reasons, and not even signing one of the first addresses used by Satoshi. The thing is that anyone can claim to be someone else if they come into possession of private keys or forum login data.

For me the matter is very clear if we just consider the way Satoshi has communicated on this forum publicly and privately with his associates - compared to how CW Faketoshi communicates and behaves. In any case, they are two different people and I have no doubts about that.

This has a really simple answer to be honest.  Most people don't take the time to look into WHY this grift is being attempted.  THAT PERSON is trying to convince people they are satoshi so that he can then convince people to support a reorg of the blockchain in order to give him access to satoshi's coins on the BSV chain.  He thinks if he can accomplish this then he can sue Bitcoin developers to do the same on the Bitcoin network unlocking billions of dollars for his own use.  That is the only reason he's trying to do this.  If there were no coins said to be owned by satoshi, you would have never heard of this man.

I think the slammed $1m fine is a slap on the wrist. A stiffer fine should've sufficed. He's trying too hard to prove an identity he doesn't have and forgot the basic thing – just move one of the wallets believed to be owned by the maverick Satoshi Nakamoto, even if he can't or doesn't want to log in to this forum and everyone will throw out every doubt. CW is simply an unbelievable nitwit.

It's complicated story, but it's mostly because of his ego, and because he is trying to get more money obviously.
He was lucky enough to be early in bitcoin, but this was not enough for him so he decided to recreate himself from farmer to scammer

You are right, why would he do this while there are easy ways to prove if you are Satoshi or not? By the way, the credentials are saved somewhere on the server of BTT, and can't the admins see those credentials? and can sell them to this Craig so he can prove he is the Satoshi. Just idealizing, not trying to accuse admins here. I know if they cared about money, then they would have earned thousands of dollars until now from these signature campaigns.

Maybe he is really some idiot or lunatic who is obsessed with Satoshi. Ok, even for the moment we imagine he is the satoshi, then what? What can he do or achieve by proving he is Satoshi? Can he claim any funds? Can he move those funds that are in the holdings of Satoshi? To be honest, I think Satoshi is dead, but the possibility of him being alive is also there but in my view I think he is dead.

Unfortunately, the article only says that he'll have to pay if he loses the trial, and this is just legal costs, not a fine or anything like that.
He can't log in to this forum. AFAIK, nobody can log in as satoshi any more (but unfortunately I can't find the info of what made me think so, so perhaps I'm wrong). But if he was Satoshi, he could find ways of proving it. It's been going on for many years now, and we still haven't seen a single piece of strong evidence. I think he's doing this as a publicity stunt, just to get attention. Then attention, of course, is transformed into money because he can capitalize on it.

Technically there's two categories of people that can gain access to satoshi's account:

• Satoshi
• anyone else with admin privileges.

But since Craig Wright is neither but I just wanted to point it out.

Imo, it started as clout chasing but he's now too deep in it with personal reputation now at stake that he can't just give in now. That's why he's hrll bent about it even though he doesn't proof.

[Why is this person trying so hard to prove that he's Satoshi Nakamoto?

That's because he's a fraud. He's trying desperately to be what he's not. Satoshi, whoever he/she/they are won't go through the stress of staying anonymous only to try everything possible to be known as the creator of Bitcoin.
He has brought a lot of different things to prove that he's Satoshi and neither of them has been convincing enough, it's crystal clear that he's a fraud.

Judge orders Craig Wright to pay over $1M, accepts new evidence over Satoshi’s identity

Article: https://cointelegraph.com/news/judge-orders-craig-wright-pay-over-1-million-accepts-new-evidence-satoshi-identity
Author: ANA PAULA PEREIRA

The legal battle over Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity and Bitcoin rights has taken another turn in recent days, with a British judge rescheduling the trial between Craig Wright and Bitcoin Core developers for Feb. 5.

Craig Wright is just trying so hard to become what he's not. There are loads of ways to validate that he is Satoshi even without authorities dragging him or appearing before any panel to prove it.

There are wallets that he can initiate transactions from, there are also accounts that have history of satoshi related interactions, like the once he sent to other programmers as a test and stuff.

If these accounts gets activated by Craig Wright then it's proof enough.

[deepblue01]

AFAIK, nobody can log in as satoshi any more (but unfortunately I can't find the info of what made me think so, so perhaps I'm wrong)

yes, i read some post that literaly said "no body can login satoshi account" and i forgot where is it.
i think theymos said that but iam not sure

[bhadz]

He's born to be like that. This case is never going anywhere and let's say that he's able to win over the court with that case. Is it over for him? maybe the satisfaction of winning is there but not going to change the fact that he's not the real satoshi. The real Satoshi isn't like that and won't even bother to tell who he/she is in public. A fraud guy trying so hard knowing that he's not the real satoshi, maybe he's up to something and that's why he's pursuing this case.

[Casdinyard]

I say he's got what's going for him lol. The guy's been at it for years now trying to prove that he's Satoshi Nakamoto when even the guys who took after the main man's work could prove he's not him. Plus from the get-go his statements don't add up to anything conclusive as well, it's as if every single time he makes an attempt to prove himself to be Satoshi Nakamoto he only ends up making himself look like a complete buffoon to the whole public, this one's no exception either.

Why is this person trying so hard to prove that he's Satoshi Nakamoto?

Cause he thinks he can leverage being known as the creator of bitcoin for his personal gain, just like the countless others who made an attempt to prove that they are him (pun intended). Craig's been known by many as a fraud in this industry, even whistleblowers like Edward Snowden thinks so too. So yeah, aside from the insurmountable amount of fame and acclaim that he may get from being proven to be Satoshi Nakamoto, he also wants the moolah that will inadvertently come with it.

Also at this point I feel like he's fallen victim to his own sunk cost fallacy. He's in too deep into the fight to prove that he's Satoshi that he thinks there's no other way to do this but forward, when he can just quit and save face and we wouldn't even notice.

$1m is too small, he should fine more. Lol. Sigh, this person is not yet done for what he wants that he will never get, ever.
If i'm one of those who support him (which i will never be), i should drop it already lol. It's been a very long time already yet he didn't prove anything, because obviously he is fake.

I am thinking now that he has mental problems and illusion that he is indeed Satoshi.
Because that is true, if he is Satoshi, he can easily access this forum using Satohi's credentials but to no avail.
I don't know his end game here. But definitely, he is seen as idiot/crazy whatever you call it.
I just hope he has the money to pay the fine. Because if his claims are true, then such money is just a penny for him.

It's obvious that this person is lying; I can't stop reading what he says on various article platforms. And it looks like the right time has come for him to pretend to be Nakamoto on social media platforms.

I also agree with what you said that even though he has an account on this forum, that is still not enough to say that he is Nakamoto because anyone can still put Nakamoto's name on this forum even on the first day. of starting this forum.

Its not a fine, its to cover costs "in case" he loses the trial in February.

Justice Mellor also granted the developers a second security application, ordering Wright
to pay by Jan. 5 an additional 800,000 pounds (~$1 million) to cover the developers'
legal costs in the event he loses the trial. Wright already deposited 100,000 pounds ($127,000)
as a security payment.

I would like to think that this is a security measure on behalf of the court because
they see this case as having high odds of going against CSW.

I have said it before but I think he will be caught out for the fake he is at some stage
sooner or later and his house of cards will continue to crumble following on from the hodlonaut

I am sure that so many members of this forum are wondering the same thing as to Craig Wright...who for me is always Wrong...on why he is still insisting to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto when in fact he could not present any credible evidence to make his assertions stand in the court and in people's mind. Now, I think, the answer is that there is something with this man mentally...maybe he is constructing a world of his own and he wants us to also be a part of that make-believe world he is building. Though since am not a doctor, this is just my own very humble opinion.

[thecodebear]

It's amazing to me that Wright can tell all these lies over many years and bring on these frivolous lawsuits and not end up in jail. Seems like there should be some sort of law against repeatedly starting frivolous lawsuits and forging documents and all that stuff.


Wright is the biggest disgrace and joke of the bitcoin world. It's just sad that he's allowed to keep doing this stuff.

[icalical]

That is the screenshot of the first paragraph on the articles provided by OP. This phrase is ridiculous 'The legal battle over Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity and Bitcoin rights'. Why would someone battling over to be recognized as Satoshi, they will get more problem than profit, and the real Satoshi knows that, that's why they choose to become anonymous, and the right for Bitcoin, what will they get by getting right to Bitcoin, it's a decentralized anyway.

That's the only way to prove himself but I think everyone knows already that he's the fake one and that a lot of his stories are just not matching up with any that a lot of us knows and he would've mentioned the other person's identity that helped with the building of the forum with. Another thing about Craig is probably that he already knows that it's all a joke and nothing more than just a deception, he just loves the spotlight and our attention too much that he'll do anything to keep that spotlight trained at him and our attention at him, that's what I think how his mind works in all of this issue.

There are too many reasons which could explain why he is doing this, reasons that range from simply wanting the spotlight to somehow this legal maneuver allowing him to get to the coins of Satoshi and make him one of the richest persons alive.

But whatever are his reasons, the case for him being Satoshi is pretty much closed for anyone that has took the time to read about the whole thing, but since the courts seems to be too busy to do that then he thinks he can get away with it by trying to force the legal system to recognize him as Satoshi.
