His statement is implying that he is getting access to the "private keys" which would allow him to actually have control over the 1M fortunate.
But, if you look at what he is actually saying, he is actually only claiming that he is getting access to the "public keys", which is just a list of his supposed holdings.
It is a very weasely way to imply something, and then when people ask to back up your statement with proof, he will go back and say "umm, actually it was this different thing, and I can't show you proof because private keys are not the same as public keys!".
You should expect another excuse soon, as for why he actually can't move his coins.
Either way BSV has quadrupled in four days, so there are certainly people who are heavily betting something will come of this.
There was a post yesterday that I saw that suggested this is some kind of long con to try to get a court order to actually fork the BTC blockchain to give him access to Satoshi's coins -- absurd concept really, but not out of the realm of what this guy would think he could do.
Is there some king of pattern in bs artists staying popular despite reality?
Plenty of people want to see him get his comeuppance in court. It would be nice if the courts decided to punish his perjury.
It's conspicuously ostentatious and fake-official. When you think about it, why would data need to be delivered by a dude in a rented uniform?
Hal was one of those off-the-charts smart people, and was kind and well-liked by everyone. He also liked to prank people, and the Satoshi prank is just the kind of thing he'd do.
He was interviewed a few months before his death where he was asked if he was Satoshi, and he just smiled.
Sauce? I found an article from a few months before his death where he glances down (indicating a "no") when asked if he was involved in the creation of Bitcoin. He involuntarily smiles (but also glances down) when asked if he has any connection to Dorian Nakamoto.
