Craig Wright is missing, over charge to face probe for alleged perjury

[shield132]

What's the point for him to run, if I may ask? What's he afraid of? Why not stand and face the consequences of his actions since he had the chance to stop parading himself as Satoshi did a did a long time ago, which he refused to take? Instead, he keeps on pushing and suing who ever comes his way. 
 
What can keep a man running and hiding for a long period of time is the amount of wealth he has at his disposal, of which I doubt he has much yet to be seized as ordered by the court to seize all his own assets. So how long does he think he can run before he is found and brought back to face judgement?

He was lying about being Satoshi for years, he was lying about everything and wanted to force Bitcoin Core developers to give him access to Satoshi's coins. Imagine what would happen if this liar had won, he is a scammer, a liar, everything that man shouldn't be. He has to run, to hide to escape.

the JUDGE used his own authority to investigate the whereabouts of CSW and found that he left his residence and there is evidence he left the UK*

I don't understand this, why did they let him to leave the UK? When the government knows that situation is like this, they have to immediately ban the person from leaving the country.

There's also a chance the "money men" recruited by Calvin Ayre to fund the whole Faketoshi fiasco are now out for blood, and 'ol Craiggy has legit gone into hiding to escape their wrath. Remember we are dealing with a consortia of cold-blooded psychopaths here, not the run-of-the-mill crypto scammers.

Is Calvin Ayre really pissed off? I don't know because this is his tweet about Craig Wright - https://x.com/CalvinAyre/status/1768277332014358942
I think he has a very low IQ and earned lots of money by doing illegal things.

My hat goes off to the many victims of his lies and the lives of the poor people that had to endure his persecution. I respect all the people who stood up for the truth and those who worked tirelessly to prove it. (You know who you are.... )

Thank you for standing in the firing line and taking the punches for the rest of us. I hope you can get some rest to prepare for the civil claims to bankrupt this guy.... because he deserve nothing less.

Now we can concentrate on building Bitcoin to something that are much bigger than CW's ego...

Without locking him up there is no way to really stop someone from leaving.
From Dover it's a couple of hours by boat to France. With the kind of money he has taken from people it should be no issue to have someone with a decent sized boat take him across with no questions asked and find a private dock where nobody is really looking.

CSW decided to leave the UK to avoid getting caught in a CRIMINAL charge

*the common sense theory is the judge sought out to check if his passport was used at an airport without csw consulting the courts, rather than CSW consulting the court with a forwarding address of residency due to wanting to shy away from public eye

He's eventually going to be served, unless he wants to find himself on an INTERPOL Red Notice.

Does even INTERPOL have to tell him that he is not Satoshi? SMH.

We could have asked the court to seize his passport, but the judge surprised us with a ruling from the bench.  He was gone from the country a bit to fast to react.  There is no guarantee we would have been granted the passport seizure, but I think there would have been reasonable odds of it.

and not that seizing his passport would have made it impossible to run, but it would have made it harder.  Oh well.

Harder? Nah, more expensive but not harder. Not for anyone with any kind of money.
Too many ports / docks with no security and too many people with private jets that don't ask questions.

It's just the way it is. Anyone who this otherwise is just making themselves feel better.

It's like the people here in the US that think "securing the border" will even slow down illegal drugs coming into the country.

I honestly don't care if he runs away and hides for the rest of his life

While I understand your point, I think that you are not right.
CSW must now pay damages for those who have lost a lot for standing up for the truth.
CSW must now face the justice for all his lies and forgeries.
Then he can go to... wherever he wants to hide.

Question about Craig Wright's place as Bitcoin founder can now be dismissed in the forum, the UK law made it clear that he lied under oath. A London high court Judge “James Mellon" has decided to push Wright's case to
the British Crown Prosecution Service “CPS" after a deep look into the overwhelming evidence of Criag's forgery and lies during the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) trial; a lawsuit for Wright to stop suing Bitcoin developers.

Because he's bound to face serious legal consequences for his lies and forgery, Wright's whereabout is unknown and he's fled from his previous residence in Wimbledon, London. He could face Arrest or extradition, depending on his location.

Well, I am not surprised because this is a something I feel Is long overdue, craig wright is not just a lier, a forger, an impersonator, but he is also a thief, an unrepentant one for that matter.
So I am particularly not surprised the the dude is already on the run, this is to show us all that no matter how long it might take, the law will always take its course.

I am happy that finally; we can all rest, because to be honest, that man was already a nuisance in the bitcoin community, bitcoin miners can now do their job with peace of mind.
Another Satoshi nakamoto impersonator is down, who's next on the line in the Satoshi nakamoto impersonating game? 😁

[gmaxwell]

Harder? Nah, more expensive but not harder. Not for anyone with any kind of money.
Too many ports / docks with no security and too many people with private jets that don't ask questions.

A distinction would be that he'd have frustrated further travel-- could he get out and hunker down? Sure.  It would also mean that he'd be vulnerable to an immediate arrest when we did track him down.  As is, he's just lawfully jetting around, which is less preferable.

Aside, the house he was renting in the UK is now listed again:  https://search.savills.com/gg/en/property-detail/gbcorecbs170012l

I am happy that finally; we can all rest,

Yeah not quite. He's claiming he will appeal in a couple weeks and he's still "at large" and not at all sending signs that he intends to stop.

Seizing a passport from somebody like CSW might not be that simple anyway.  I'd say he has Australian and UK passports at least, possibly Antiguan thru Calvin Ayre, and I think his wife is Singaporean?, so he could possibly have one of these as well.  He's probably been preparing for this eventuality for a while.  If he appeals would he be required to actually appear at court? I think in the last case he only appeared on days when he was being sworn in or giving evidence.

eventually served yes but just like what he done in australian a decade ago. he ran away before the charges were filed.

he is again hoping by being judged remotely again, so he can try to turn a prison time punishment into a financial penalty, hoping the international authorities will see the costs of trying to perform an extradition is more costly than a financial settlement.

it would have been worth COPA requesting to hold onto his passport when they requested to freeze funds, using the australian example a decade ago as evidence that he likes to run to avoid prosecution.. but a bit late to go that avenue now, he already ran again

i think right now CSW is probably hiding out with calvin in some non extradition country.. and the plan to run was being set up months ago when calvin decided to back out of public life (to set up accommodation for CSW should he lose(which he did)).. but thats just my theory

[gmaxwell]

He was already out of the country by then.

I think he has a very low IQ and earned lots of money by doing illegal things.

He's exceptionally pissed off as he's pissed away millions of his own money propping up the Faketoshi lie, all for not (who knows, probably his mining pool made money and also selling BSV into coordinated pumps).

A while back an email was leaked that outlined the falling out between Craig and Calvin:

https://medium.com/@coinbold.io/leaked-email-craig-wright-threatens-calvin-ayre-over-bitcoin-keys-7962b89ae127

After which another email by Calvin was leaked expressing that he no longer wanted anything to do with Craig.

Both dudes are stone cold pathological liars, incapable of experience shame or remorse due to a genetic neuropathology (sociopathy). Somehow they found each other in this life. Calvin's public (business) face and private face are highly dissonant, probably resembling something like this:



A charade he is forced to continue until all has been forgotten.

1. calvin is still pumping "enterprise blockchains" as he was promised profits from selling patents of these.. to ROI the investment he made in CSW
so he has to keep his "enterprise blockchain" business viable

2. how to hide a friend who fled a country:
    a. publicise a falling out by acting like it was a leak..
    b. promote you are no longer involved in the business partnership on the day-to day to pretend to not know the comings and goings of partners.
    c. then if authorities come knocking, hide your friend and tell people your not his friend by telling them to check twitter to see falling out..

all in all calvin still has idiotic thoughts of someday getting repaid by sucking up to CSW.. even now coming out and saying  "i know he is__" "i feel for him"
i personally think calvin doesnt believe in CSW but needs to say niceties and pampering words to CSW to not breach their business contract so that his hopes of ROI can continue.. everyone knows CSW is a scammer and most victims only play along with the character games when they believe loyalty will get repaid

Criminal minds do criminal things Nwada001. It didn’t make any sense for him to say he is satoshi too but he did it anyway and he tried everything he could do.

Now he is on the run.

That’s exactly what I would expect from him.

Like how he tried to fool the judge, the people; he is now trying to fool the police. He thinks if he can hide well enough, he won’t be jailed.

If he had enough sanity left in him, he wouldn’t try that but that Crazy Craig we are talking about who does crazy things.

Shine on you crazy craig

[Majestic-milf]

The UK Supreme Court forced Craig Wright to declare himself a Satoshi impersonator and the charges he faced were:
- Craig Wright is not Satoshi.
- He is neither the author nor the owner of the Bitcoin White Paper.
- He is not the creator of Bitcoin.
- Finally: Craig Wright must admit that he is impersonating Satoshi.

Although I get what you mean but to another person it would seem like Craig was actually Satoshi but the court, for lack of evidence as to prove otherwise, had to force him to admit he isn't. For a very long time Craig was comfortable to assume a persona he wasn't and now that the hammer of the law has hit, he's looking for where to hide.
It's all good that he's in hiding because there will be many people after his head and I guess he'd just prolong the inevitable by doing so but the question is, for now long can he remain to hide or disappear.

As you said, criminal minds do criminal things and he thinks he can benefit greatly if he will present himself as Satoshi Nakamoto but he fails with it due to lacking of proofs, (good for him). As for me, I didn't expect that he will ran away because at first he is very confident about his agenda and he is kind a powerful or influential to face courageously the charges that is being thrown at him.

There is no way that a judge can be fooled no matter how great they are because they are the judge anyways and they have more knowledge when it comes to these things than those criminals. Same goes to the police, unless only if there is a corruption involved here. That's a different story anymore.

[franky1]

As for me, I didn't expect that he will ran away because at first he is very confident about his agenda and he is kind a powerful or influential to face courageously the charges that is being thrown at him.

he has ran away before (australia drama 2014), he has a pattern
he is not a confident man, he is a con man. there is a difference
his splutterings and speech rhythm in courts before are not one of a confident man

he has no power or courage, he is not even a 'self made man' he can only survive economically based on delusions of false grandeur for others to fund him

when someone cant code an integer correctly but entertains his victims that he is king of coders. that is not confidence, that is not power or courage. that is delusions

dont confuse confidence/courage with carelessness.. he never cared about winning or losing court cases, his role then was to just add more action/drama to his story to stay relevant. even the judge recently knew that even with CSW losing CSW would just try to escalate to appeal the case for more drama/content. the judge noted that he shouldnt pursue that avenue by blocking him from taking those avenues
csw doesnt care about winning cases he just seen it as extra content for his life story,.. yes his sponsors care a bit more as hit harms their ROI if they have to keep paying out but not get returns..  many of his business associates have talked about this over the years. it was all about producing content to fill and then to sell life-story rights, to ROI their investments in him(eventually).. win or lose, good-guy/bad-guy. doesnt matter to CSW. it was all intended as life story content CSW promised to his victims as payment for their sponsorships

he and those sponsoring him only have the delusions of grandeur but when their delusions come to light, they run

Now the question is, who is dumber, Craig Wright or Calvin Ayre? It's very hard to answer because Craig Wright started with lies and Calvin Ayre was here to fund him. I believe that he knew that Craig Wright was a liar but why I think he is the dumbest person is that he was still backing up Craig Wright and was covering his bills. What hopes did he have? Was he hoping that Craig Wright would prove that he is Satoshi? It was impossible to prove from the very beginning because this man was only speaking like, belive me, bro, I'm satoshi. He had no proof.
They luckily found each other and I hope they'll be forever together, wanted.

[gmaxwell]

Now the question is, who is dumber, Craig Wright or Calvin Ayre?

Well if you look at Wright, he went from being a recently laid off surprisingly poorly paid firewall installer to living a blinged out multimillionaire lifestyle for over a decade.  Perhaps he'll have to spend the rest of his life in places that don't extradite to the UK but I bet he's still living a lifestyle much nicer than he could have afforded from his original condition.

So how stupid is he?

Maybe we're all the stupid ones.  This seems to be the lesson that so many shitcoiners have learned:  The general public is dumb and will shovel money on people that loudly make impossible promises, and actual punishment for this fraud will be delayed at best but most often non-existent.
