I'm amazed at how, to his own personal detriment, he's committed himself to this narrative that he's Satoshi Nakamoto. So much so, that he's potentially on the hook for what must now be billions of dollars of bitcoin as a result of claims from the estate of his alleged partner [0].

Are we sure his sanity is intact? He might be suffering from delusions

Why doesn't he move some of satoshi's bitcoins to prove it?

Did he just lose the wallet in the washing machine?

One of the original reasons why he didn't want to connect his old wallet was fear of a bug which would empty his bitcoins.

Hence the whole original claim where he needed to use his own laptop and software to sign a phrase using a satoshi key.

I don't quite understand what that means but assuming it's accurate, why hasn't he done that yet?

Hasn't he been claiming he's Satoshi for years?

He makes a lot of money pretending to be Satoshi, so it’s in his interest to stay with his fake persona. Since he can’t prove it, he doesn’t.

I'm more interested in the legal precedent that could be set. Is intellectual property up for grabs if nobody else claims it?

Craig Wright has been proven in court forging documents. He's not going to get caught and clearly satoshi is most likely dead or never coming back.

What's this guy's game? Why go so deep into this charade?
