He is probably not Satoshi because Bitcoin was meant to be everything opposite of a currency for money laundering hence triple ledger accounting aka blockchain. After all see Bitcoin whitepaper and read carefully each sentence and you will realize it was meant for internet commerce and last thing you want in ecommerce is fraud and money laundering.

On the other hand Craig Wright is the most possible candidate for Satoshi by far. There are too many clues leading to him for example like this one https://seclists.org/basics/2006/Mar/270 or a small detail like word "bloody" which Satoshi used and it is usual for people using British vocab which Craig being Australian uses, I heard it in his presentations. And btw Craig said he was involved in cracking of TrueCrypt with law enforcement that explains why creator of TrueCrypt is mentioned in court documents.

Craig Wright is not Satoshi, that is absurd. Research it more and come back to us. If he ever wanted to prove it he could easily do so by moving any of the early coins etc. Instead of his fraudulent signatures added after the fact and all his other shenanigans.

Craig Wright is commonly known as "Faketoshi" in the community due to how much he claims he is Satoshi.

Another theory says that is the perfect way to hide in plain sight if you were the real Satosh

Or you know, if you want to hide the fact that you are satoshi don't tell people you are satoshi?

He's so smart he's realized the best way to hide it is to make people think you're desperate for attention

By moving Satoshi's coins he is not proving him being Satoshi, he is only proving that he has a private key of Satoshi's wallet. If I steal your Bitcoin wallet's private key and I move your coins does that mean I am you? Probably not. Craig said in of his interviews that he has a bank statement of bitcoin.org domain purchase so I am eager as much as everyone to see the bank statement.

True, but his inability to move those coins does cast doubt on his claim. It's the one thing we know Satoshi has the ability to do, and Wright can't do that.

> Craig said in of his interviews that he has a bank statement of bitcoin.org domain purchase

Which still doesn't prove anything, beyond that he bought a domain name. (Or, to be even more cynical, that he got something that looks like a domain name purchase to show up on a bank statement.)

He bought bitcoin.org domain in 2008 and by credit card. If bank statement says that then he can be considered at least being a part of Satoshi group or even Satoshi himself.

The screenshot he shared supporting this claim was shown to be easy to forge. (source: https://twitter.com/Mike__V_/status/1116725165168177152?s=19 )

I think before continuing further you should familiarize yourself with the mountain of evidence showing lies, fraud, and deceit found at:

- https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Craig_Wright

- https://www.stopcraigwright.com

- https://news.bitcoin.com/craig-is-a-liar-early-adopter-prove...

- tax fraud in AUS, attempting to cover this up is most likely the cause of his campaign: https://medium.com/@Bitcoin_Beyond/forensic-report-raises-qu...

The list goes on and on, the evidence is easy to find and there is really no excuse for trying to push this theory.

Those things do not follow from one another, even if he could so prove. Which he has not done.

When Europeans (or others outside the Americas) learn English, they usually learn British English. The use of "bloody" isn't as strong an indicator as you might think.
