Craig Wright files copyright claim for Bitcoin white paper

[pretfood]

I think his response to questions at Oxford University is all the proof you need. https://decryptmedia.com/6834/craig-wright-faces-scrutiny-at...

Yeah that's not a good look / looks like a conman type response. A legit person I don't think goes full "Trumpian" in response there.

What’s the consensus on HN? Is this guy just a chancer or is he really Satoshi?

Grifting conman.

A walk down memory lane on one of his previous attempts to demonstrate he was Satoshi:

The one positive thing I can say about Bitcoin is that it gives someone who is factually Satoshi an extremely easy way to prove that fact in a way which is extremely difficult for anyone else in the world to forge. Wright hasn’t because he can’t because he isn’t.

If he wanted to prove that he was Satoshi, couldn't he just move some of the BTC out of one of Satoshi's wallets? That would be proof enough for me.
