A good article on Vice magazine which is a huge website and gets tons of traffic. It expands on the points made by Greg Maxwell a couple of hours ago. It's impossible to claim Craig Wright is Satoshi at this point, you would need to take a big leap of faith to do so. Im not saying he isn't 100%, but at the same time anyone that thinks he's the real deal is being delusional.

I really don't get the point of all the buzz. What difference does it make if he's really satoshi or not??

It is huge news if he is really Satoshi, but may people - me included doubt that theory. Something is fishy around all this case.
I am not an expert in cryptography but facts presented by that article are worth moment of ponder.

What is the most interesting here are those facts:

-The Wired and Gizmodo Keys that supposedly lead back to Satoshi weren’t previously known to be linked to Satoshi, and their 2008 creation date could have been faked.
-Both keys use a list of cipher-suites that don’t match up to the Original Key, and weren’t added to GPG until 2009.
-The Wired key was retroactively added to a 2008 blogpost sometime between 2012 and 2014, as noted in its story.
