Man Who Claimed To Be Bitcoin's Creator May Be Asked To Prove It In $10 Billion Lawsuit

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Let's see if this guy is the correct one... What do you think? I do surely not think he is, if he can't prove it... but at the same time, why should he need too?.... yeah let's see what happens!

Craig Wright, who claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin and the man behind the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym in May 2016, is facing a $10 billion lawsuit in the state of Florida. The suit is being brought forth by the brother of Dave Kleiman, who Wright has said helped with the development of Bitcoin in the earliest days of its existence.

Although Wright was able to convince well-known Bitcoin community members Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen of his story regarding the creation of the world’s first widely-used cryptocurrency, the Australian computer scientist backed out of providing cryptographic proof of his claim for the entire world shortly after an initial media storm that involved the use of a PR agency.

Clearly he is a scam artist with a Dr degree. If he is Satoshi when he should have access to that 1m bitcoin address.
