Wright is not Satoshi. It's becoming clear that he scammed the Australian tax office with a fraudulent R&D expenditure claim to gain tax credits, in a scam involving bitcoin mining claims.

Here is some other evidence debunking Wright, from what I recall about Satoshi:

1. Satoshi's posting and email patterns show he slept from Midnight-6 AM eastern standard time (USA). Not that he had to be in that time zone, but that's when he apparently slept. Very odd for an Australian on the opposite side of the world.

2. Satoshi valued anonymity VERY highly and was disciplined about it. This Wright guy teased Wired and gave them enough "evidence" to cause this story. That is TOTALLY out of character from what we know of Satoshi.

3. Wright has a flamboyant writing style with lots of "mouthing off". To the extent I've seen Satoshi's writings, he doesn't "mouth off", was concise and to-the-point in his writing and kept logic and reason ahead of emotion, unlike Wright.

4. Likewise, Wright's writing samples include many typos - clearly unlike Satoshi who was pretty impeccable about what he wrote.

It would be interesting to compare the writing style of Satoshi with that of Daid Kleiman - a Florida man (EST time zone). I'm baffled as to how many people are completely dismissing the Wired/Gizmodo story (meaning also dismissing the connection between Wright and Klieman) all the while there is evidence that even Kleiman's senile father (92 years old) knew in 2014 his son was somehow involved in the creation of Bitcoin.

The right question to ask is this: How exactly did Wright and Kleiman know each other, if at all?
