This is the clown who claimed to have private cryptographic keys which someone else used to write on the Satoshi Blockchain "Craig Wright is a fraud".

Pretty much every claim he ever makes either directly or indirectly requires absolute illiteracy to cryptography.

At first this Wright guy is just frustrating and annoying, but if you watch him over time you get insight into what serious delusion and mental illness really look like.



What annoys me is that the people who first promoted him, e.g. Andy Greenberg of Wired, were far from cryptography illiterates. I'm pretty sure they raised the profile of this fraud knowingly, out of a misguided effort to protect the privacy of the real Satoshi.

This is why you don't do that!

Does putting it in quotes protect you from libel charges? Honest question.
