The Faketoshi saga is now coming to a close...

[darkangel11]

I saw a great comment on this "saga" not long ago and the author roughly said something like: we can all claim to be Satoshi apart from Craig Wright who is the only person in the world told by the court that he is not. The clown should be punished for doing that as he damaged the reputation of the real Satoshi, whoever he is. I can't run around town saying I'm the president. They'd probably arrest me for that and put me up for mental health check, but Craig can lie for years and not even get thrown in the loony bin?

I don't know what's wrong with Faketoshi. I think he has mental issues; otherwise, how could he claim to be Satoshi when the real Satoshi wants to hide his identity? So he should be sent to the metal hospital. However, Satoshi Nakamoto cannot prove his identity without singing a message from his Bitcoin address. The legend who created Bitcoin won't lose his wallet credentials. If it is lost, then we lose Saatoshi forever. There is no other trustworthy source to verify real Satoshi.

Thank God that this farce is finally over, .

You're underestimating Craig, and if somebody feels the need to puke but is afraid of taking meds:

Read the comments and try not to break something.

Any body can prove that he, she or they are Satoshi Nakamoto they will get a big bounty as big as 100 BTC.

So anyone who can prove he has access to 1 million coins will get 100 btc as a reward for revealing himself?
That sounds....

Anyhow, can now someone please end that BSV's misery, it dropped to less than 0.1% of Bitcoin's haashrate, just 51% it and end it

[adaseb]

Yeah it’s great that this is finally put to an end.

I don’t know if this was the original cause or not but the crash in Nov 2018 might of been due to Bitcoin SV. CSW was saying he is going to dump all 1M of his coins and BTC will be dead and BSV will replace it. And shortly after is when we broke the $6K support and went down to like $3.5K.

Pretty sure the BSV mess is what started that crash.

I do not understand what he accomplished by all of these. For fake fame and name, he ruined his life and his reputation and would now become a laughing stock for his entire life. He had known that in the end he would be declared as faketoshi by the court and now we are reading it and everyone globally is now knowing it. In a way, he did give Bitcoin a lot of publicity as news media outlets have been covering this case from the beginning.

[livingfree]

What a lively day even without the judge's verdict, we all knew it all along that he's just a decoy pretending to be satoshi.

We even called him faketoshi but it's good that this saga has already ended and I hope that he will also stop his delusions about proclaiming that he's satoshi.

I do not understand what he accomplished by all of these. For fake fame and name, he ruined his life and his reputation and would now become a laughing stock for his entire life.

Credentials and as you've said, fake fame and wanting to proclaim that he's the father of creation of Bitcoin which is just an illusion of him.

Credentials and as you've said, fake fame and wanting to proclaim that he's the father of creation of Bitcoin which is just an illusion of him.

Why? Is my question to him and to anyone who tries to impersonate anyone. Is that worth doing for short term gain and fame. The price of his shit coin is now taking a deep down intervention due to his greed and his community is suffering.

There was a time when his community would come up and bash everyone as they believed him to Satoshi. Imagine how those retards are feeling after hearing he is not. He was trying to be a legend and now he became a shit.

Right? It's hard to fathom why Craig Wright would go to such lengths for fake fame, only to end up ruining his life and reputation. Despite this his antics did put Bitcoin in the spotlight, with media covering the trial extensively. But it's not the kind of attention he wanted, as it just exposes his lies. In the end he's left with nothing but a legacy of deceit and embarrassment, rather than the respect he craved

[bettercrypto]

This is actually good news. I remember when I heard about this self-proclaimed person who is said to be Satoshi Nakamoto. I was really annoyed with that person at that time, to be honest. Because it is obvious that he is lying.

Even when people lie and cheat, it never results in good results. And now, he will reap the rewards of the fraud he committed in the cryptocurrency community. Now, he has been exposed to shame, and many people will now not believe the lie he made.

[acroman08]

I just stumbled on this article earlier today and it made me laugh, It looks like Craig "the only not satoshi by law" Wright is not having a good day. his days of bullshitting the UK courts are over. I can't wait for the day that this greedy guy to finally shuts his mouth up and lets go of his delusion of being Satoshi(we all know the whole reason why he is doing all this).

[Cryptomultiplier]

Am glad it's finally coming to an end because it is because of a comment I made, thinking it was against him that I earned a neutral tag and am going to be much happy if this trial is over and the real Satoshi reclaiming his name.

With all the fake documents presented am sure he would resort to his calm corner to think on what he has done because as far as am concerned many individuals will run the other way if he shows his face in public or run for a public post or management position in any big company.

Since the start of the trial, Judge Mellor had shown real restraint. If you followed Norbert on Twitter, you would have enjoyed his minute-by-minute updates about the cross examinations as he was present inside the courtroom. The court even had a provision for getting access to the live feed but it was illegal to make any sort of recordings.

There were some hilarious moments including wright being asked what a "const unsigned int" means. He was unable to explain what unsigned was.

Then there was the amazing stuff about wright talking about hosted platforms changing his documents, the new excuse about the watermark in whitepaper. It truly was like the narcissistic, pathological liar was inventing lies on the fly. At a lot of points, he has his own lawyers embarrassed. If i recall correctly, his lawyer at one point said, "I am not sure my client knows what he is talking about my lord".

The high point of course was the closing remarks by Judge Mellor recounted below for your enjoyment. Read every line to your heart's content for all the times that you had been exasperated seeing that slickly dressed, smug SoB bamboozle people with his feigned expertise and jargon. Here is what Judge Mellor said at closing:

MR JUSTICE MELLOR: Thank you. Well, I thank all the parties for their written closing and oral arguments, and they've been very helpful indeed.They will require me to prepare a fairly lengthy written judgment, which will be handed down in due course.  And for all those who have already been hassling my clerk as to when the judgment will be ready, the short answer is as follows: it will be ready when it's ready and not before.

However, having considered all the evidence and submissions presented to me in this trial, I've reached the conclusion that the evidence is overwhelming. Therefore, for the reasons which will be explained in that written judgment in due course, I will make certain declarations which I am satisfied are useful and are necessary to do justice between the parties.

• First, that Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.
• Second, Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011.
• Third, Dr Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System.
• And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software.

     

[Viscore]

It has always been obvious and known just like the judge said the evidence were just
too overwhelming and his stance was just ridiculous. It is regretful that
this whole process came too long but at least now we can put this behind and we can
focus on what lies ahead of us.

Let us not believe anyone claiming to be satoshi let us try to think more critically to
avoid being victimized or scammed

The real Satoshi will never claim its name if ever, either the forum itself. But the people will certainly determine him because of what he is, not because of self-proclamation as it turns out that you have an intention to steal other spotlight. Good thing this comes to an end, and Wright will no longer have to lie anymore and influence newbies about his fake identity. There are a lot of scams happening in crypto, that even the name Satoshi itself has many times steal by fake ones.

But now Craig faketoshi saga has come to an end which is certainly a good thing for us. Although this has not affected us so much since we all know actually that he’s a fake one, but I believe a lot of beginners have still fall on his trap and believed on his lies. And most probably, sooner in the future, there will be another VIP who’ll claim to be Satoshi, because as long as bitcoin remains on top of the newsfeed, the name Satoshi will always be taken advantage.

My advice to everyone is that don’t easily believe on strangers. Regardless if they have high position in the industry, that won’t guarantee that they’re being honest and would never do such scamming. Any person can imitate what Wright has done, and everyone that turns out claiming Satoshi’s name are directly named as scammers.

[Churchillvv]

Faketoshi, the fact that he claims to be who his not is insane! like how the heck will someone try to claim who his not. maybe he thought it would be a favour for him, now that it's proven what will be his fate?
At least the case is coming to an end, I don't know why people don't want the case of satoshi anonymity to go to rest, if they find Satoshi what will they do with him if they could.

Greed is one thing that drive Craig, and his nich to become famous wit his claims. I think he already achieved fame in most areas by now but the truth remains that his the faketoshi keeping his family and relatives in shame of faketoshi. perhaps it was fun to see him disgrace himself in court where he couldn't defend some things, like the meaning of "Unsigned". for me I would just like his name and case to go into extinction where nobody would remember his name.

[Outhue]

Thank God this whole drama is finally coming to an end. I saw this news yesterday but it's surprising how one will just be too thick skinned to let go off his false claims even from the first time in 2016 when he spoke about it, I wonder what was is drive all these years since we know deep down he knows that in the end he will definitely lose the case

Its nothing to thank God about.

Assuming that this man somehow confused us all that he is Nakamoto, will you believe him? Because I won't.

Until he is able to proof that he is the real Nakamoto, maybe by

1. Siginig into his BTT account thats been less active for a very long time already.

2. Sign some contract on chain? I believe this is possible since many knew Nakamoto's original address, can someone confirm this for me?

Sometimes, lies find its way to the top, Faketoshi just isn't confusing enough that's why he failed, you need to find answers yourself even when those around you believe something to be true, don't just make up your mind due to what others believe.

[Darker45]

I don't think the faketoshi saga would ever come to a full close. This is just a part of it. For one, the hunt won't end. It's because Satoshi would remain to be anonymous.

Somebody will definitely come forward with a crazy claim every once in a while. Although most of them are obviously deranged faketoshis, who knows there might be another CSW who has to be taken a little bit seriously?

Of course, the court's decision is a big welcome. I hope it will finally end CSW's harassment. I hope it will also kill BSV once and for all.

[erep]

But now Craig faketoshi saga has come to an end which is certainly a good thing for us. Although this has not affected us so much since we all know actually that he’s a fake one, but I believe a lot of beginners have still fall on his trap and believed on his lies. And most probably, sooner in the future, there will be another VIP who’ll claim to be Satoshi, because as long as bitcoin remains on top of the newsfeed, the name Satoshi will always be taken advantage.

Whatever efforts craig faketoshi makes will never succeed because the real owner never claims himself for legal proof but he can do the simplest action to activate a new transaction on satoshi's wallet, of course there is nothing anyone can do, so satoshi has already claimed he is anonymous and will not open new history to show his face. It seems that the judge's decision has signaled that Craig's drama has ended with an embarrassing decision because there are no facts that can prove the truth of him as Satoshi, he has failed before he acts.

[LogitechMouse]

Nothing surprising because we on this forum knew from the start that Faketoshi isn't the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Well, that's why he's been called as "Faketoshi" at first place. He's a fake Satoshi wannabe, and can't prove anything at all.

With this statements coming from a judge, I just hope that "Dr. Wright" will stop claiming that he is Satoshi because TBH, nobody cares anymore (or it's only me that doesn't care about who is Satoshi). Not surprising, but happy at the same time because of what happened.

F*ck Faketoshi, and F*ck BSV. For those who have BSV right now, just dump it already and buy the real Bitcoin.

[JollyGood]

His claim to be Satoshi has been a time consuming endeavour that was completely unnecessary. Craig Wright will one day look back and question if it was wise for him to constantly claim he is Satoshi. What did he eventually gain from claiming to be Satoshi when he had zero chance of proving it in or out of a Court of law?

Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto or the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper, U.K. Judge James Mellor said after closing arguments in the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) trial on Thursday.

The evidence presented during the month-long trial was "overwhelming," the judge said, adding that he plans to write a ruling detailing his conclusions – including that Wright did not create the Bitcoin system.

"I will make certain declarations, which I am satisfied are useful and are necessary to do justice between the parties. First, that Dr. Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin white paper. Second, Dr. Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011. Third, Dr. Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System. And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software. Any further relief will be dealt with in my written judgment," Judge Mellor said.

This ruling will make it impossible for CSW to continue has campaign of lawsuits against developers and others in U.K. courts.

Some have the opinion that his actions in the trial could result in charges of perjury and forgery.
