CoinGeek took from him interview, and now pushing series including analysis of it.

And about PGP key... If you took a look at his appearance in Future of Bitcoin conference, you understood, that actually, he signed with fabricated key Nobel prize winner, additional to that, if you took a second to read that text, you understood, that he don't even had intention to sign with real key.

Yes, the third citation is a transcript of his talk in the Future of Bitcoin conference. For those curious, you can also watch it on Youtube [1] (warning: maximum cringe).

He mentions the PGP key, but only connects it to the Australian Tax Office (which he defrauded, and is now living in the UK). I'm not sure how that's supposed to change my conclusion.

Hmm. The UK and Australia have an extradition treaty and good working relations. If someone were to abscond from Australia, having committed an offence such as fraud, the UK seems a strange choice of destination.

Finance is centralized around London so it makes more sense. Extradition requires a lot of work, coordination, and tax payer money.
