His reputation along with Gavin's is tarnished.

To be fair to Gavin it looks like he wasn't really paying attention to how Wright was playing things and now admits he got it wrong:

Yeah, what the heck?

I was as surprised by the proof as anyone, and dont yet know exactly what is going on.

It was a mistake to agree to publish my post before I saw his I assumed his post would simply be a signed message anybody could easily verify.

And it was probably a mistake to even start to play the Find Satoshi game, but I DO feel grateful to Satoshi.

If Im lending credibility to the idea that a public key operation should remain private, that is entirely accidental. OF COURSE he should just publish a signed message or (equivalently) move some btc through the key associated with an early block.

Feel free to quote or republish this email.

I read that Gavin met with Craig, shake his hand and recognized him as real Satoshi somewhere. And now Gavin is backing out saying that he had no idea about it?
To recognize someone as Satoshi you have to be more than sure and I thought Craig showed him some irrefutable proof and that is the reason Gavin supports him.
