This is interesting and has potential to explain a lot about Craig Wright claiming to be Satoshi.

SINGAPORE/SYDNEY (Reuters) - A company built around the research of Craig Wright, who has claimed to have invented the bitcoin cryptocurrency, has been sold to a private equity firm in a deal the company says is the biggest to date involving bitcoin’s underlying blockchain technology.

A person close to the deal said $300 million had been invested in nChain, but it was not clear over what period of time.

$300 million is a lot of money for a blockchain startup.

It is possible Craig Wright was paid $300 mil to pretend to be Satoshi. The rights and patents to blockchain technology could definitely be worth much more than $300 million dollars. Its not outside the realm of possibility that someone paid Craig Wright to pretend to be Satoshi in order to secure blockchain patents at a discount price.
