Well, it's a very good hoax if it is one. Yes Satoshi could sign using the PGP key or even sign from an old known Satoshi bitcoin address. But, if it is in fact a hoax, then Wright won't sign anything and the real Satoshi might not be able to, leaving us where we are now.I think wired probably got duped, but that is just what the initial evidence points to.
If he is satoshi then there is no reason why he cannot sign a GPG message from satoshi's GPG key, or to sign a message from an address known to belong to satoshi.
lets hope if he really is Satoshi those bitcoins don't make it into unrighteous hands. that could wreak a lot of havoc and do a hell of a lot of good too. I hope some goes into opensource space development personally, we could use a new frontierAnd now his home has been raided by the Australian police!

Why?! Please tell us more!I cannot confirm nor deny these claims
the evidence in that case is so weak that Satoshi can do other things in his freetime ...About Satoshi's coins, maybe he doesn't need them YET. I wonder how is he going to spend them without people following the trail. He can mix it a thousand times and people will follow every bit.
If those tax officials are linked to the bitcoin news, that's disgusting. I bet they're trying to steal some coins, just like the officer who stole from Ross Ulbritch (silk road case).
If Satoshi is not this Wright guy, would be a good time to send a message saying he is not him.
And about Snowden he says (also December 2014):Linguistic analysis is bloody useless at best, a dead end at worst.
Nick Szabo is not a good developer. There are many people with a rudimentary coding ability, but this is barking up the wrong tree.
LOL
Really
LOL!!!
Getting worse
Snowden was never a cryptopunk!
Yeah, I think this is someone nobody had thought of before. The circumstantial evidence is extremely interesting, he seems to be a very interesting and intelligent person, doing big things like large block scaling tests, running supercomputers, and so on. But to me at the end of the day, without crypto proof I just can't without a shadow of a doubt know that he is Satoshi.I think the Gizmodo article references satoshi@vistomail.net, not satoshin@vistomail.net.
It definitely could be an elaborate hoax setup by Craig Wright himself.
Regardless, it is rather interesting that he has had such a big bitcoin stash from quite a long time ago and is working on bitcoin. This is not a character I had on my radar.
thx for the hint but this is not my writing so i cant fix itI would be absolutely shocked if this joker turned out to be Satoshi. But Litecoin guy you need to fix what you wrote -
Seems that this Satoshi may have defrauded the Australian Government possibly out of 50 million. Pretty Certain has become highly certain that this is not Satoshi. http://www.businessinsider.com.au/the-a ... es-2015-12
That article says absolutely nothing about him defrauding anyone, nor does it claim anywhere that there was any wrongdoing at all.
good find. this whole story is a great hoax but mainstream press ate that stuff again...I think the Gizmodo article references satoshi@vistomail.net, not satoshin@vistomail.net.

What's most saddening about this entire story to me, is Dr. Craig Wright seems very interesting to me. Intelligent, knows his stuff, great background, and a real thinker (out of the box) when it comes to bitcoin. So, with all that said, why ruin it trying to pretend to be someone you aren't? His merits alone speak for themself. I just don't get it... he ruined his rep when his rep could have been much more if he just presented himself as himself. Maybe he lacked self-confidence in his work, which again is strange given all the accolades he has.a fraudster. end of the story.
