Nope. I wouldn't call him as an idiot. He created his own currency and named it "Bitcoin Satoshi Version" in order to create doubt in the mind of cryptocurrency users.
He didn't create anything; he used code created by others to launch a scam in order to steal money from the gullible.
He made well planned moved with his BSV coin
It is trivial easy to pump and dump a coin if you have a large social media following. McAfee, also an idiot, can do it with a single tweet.
He is one of the most intelligent players in the cryptocurrency market I have ever seen. He planned each of his steps in a meticulous manner and implemented them without any flaw.
I disagree. He is a great scammer, but he is not intelligent. He has been caught in his own web of lies countless times. He makes provably false claims and is technically incompetent. He thinks Satoshi is the kind of person who would file a nonsense copyright claim for bitcoin. He sues people and loses. He is an idiot.
