Craig Wright is just a scammer, caught red handed lying so many times, why would you trouble yourself and your anonymity to prove water is wet?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Kleiman
Craig knew Dave, knows the coins are so close to his reach but he will never get to them.
In fact, in the Florida lawsuit Wright provided a list of thousands of addresses he claimed to control and mined bitcoin to. The document was accidentally published without redaction and shortly thereafter the owners of 145 addresses controlling over 7000 bitcoin stepped up and posted signatures saying the addresses weren't wright and that wright is a fraud.
Wright's reaction? When asked about this he claims that there were no signatures created and just moves on. When one interviewer pressed a bit he just blathered about you can't have signatures without identity and became irate and the interviewer changed subjects.
Or more specifically to this case: In a document to the ATO Wright claimed to own several high value addresses. Two of them were actually owned by known community members, one produced a signature calling Wright a fraud, the other was called as a witness against wright in Florida. ... Wright ignored that and is suing us over the ones from that same list that where the owners haven't spoken up (yet, in one case the owner appears to have robbed a bitcoin exchange so even if they're aware of the case they're not likely to speak up).
As far as Dave goes: The only material that has ever linked Dave to Bitcoin was material wright produced to support his tax fraud, most (all?) of which has been proved to be forgeries created after Dave's death. As far as anyone can tell Dave had no particular programming expertise-- he was more of a PC tech and windows IT security guy--, the only software he appears to have created was a simple visual basic windows registry checking tool.
Of course, it's not impossible that just about anyone created Bitcoin, but I would expect that more than 3/4 of the participants in any random thread on HN would be a better candidate than Dave.
Satoshi is China, or the US.
The genesis block contains a huge front page news storey of Israeli tanks rolling into Gaza, images and all, put there by Satoshi themself.
It would not surprise me in the least if their state was behind the SN pseudonym.
Also... SN could have used any news article from any publication discussing the bailouts -- they made a choice to use a page with a massive graphic of Israeli tanks rolling into territory, rather than, say, any page from a more financially focused paper like WSJ... This could be just noise or it could be there as some form of nationalism or affinity for the image and storey.
Wright actually exploits that misunderstanding, there are some people who've been taken in by Wright's scam who believe that Wright didn't create Bitcoin but dave did and that wright stole his Bitcoins. For them that's good enough.
Aside, The lawsuit you're referring to by Ira Kleiman, a man. :) And he won a hundred million dollar judgement against Wright. Wright has tried to spin this as a "win" because Ira was asking for as much as a trillion dollars (lol) on the basis of thats the correct amount if you believe all of Wright's nonsense. In reality, Wright himself has no wealth or source of income except what he's able to pull in with this fake-satoshi con, so probably the portion of any judgement beyond a few million dollars is all equally uncollectable.
