You misspelled thirsty fraud.

If Wright was Satoshi Nakamoto, it would be trivial for him to prove it by providing Nakamoto’s original GPG private key, which he can’t because he isn’t. That the USPTO allowed him to copyright the white paper and the UK libel laws allow him to sue people for calling him on his bullshit are stains on both governments. He’s the Devin Nunes of cryptocurrency.

Interesting. If Craig Wright is indeed Sotoshi Nakamoto, he is the owner of about 1 million bitcoin. Since he emigrated from Australia to the UK in 2015, he would have been required to pay an exit-tax over the then current value of those bitcoins, about 200 million USD. He might have done that, or not, but if not, the Australian Tax Authorities now have significant reason to ask some him some tough questions. Wonder how quickly he will deny being Nakamoto when he is sued for tax evasion, and wonder how he will explain that to the UK judge.
