I listend to Fluffy Pony on the Bad Bitcoin podcast a few days ago and he made a good point I had not considered ( foolishly).
Hes so deep in to his web of lies, lies that people have put their faith and money in to believing hes actually Satoshi , that if he finally fessed up hed lose all that income /potential income and every particle of his reputation. As Ive stated before.. it became very obvious to me when he told me he built smart contracts in to the chain from day 1, a direct contradiction to satoshi himself in this thread (
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=750.msg8140#msg8140)... Though Satoshi does not mention smart contacts by name., Nick Szabo stated to me thats exactly what he believes Satoshi ( or maybe himself) was referring to.
Welcome back nullius..good to have a real deal Mr Robot like yourself around teaching idiots like myself
I came here to this thread again to post what im posting below and I read this
post to catch up on things here and this hit it for me.
What I was going to post was:
I cannot understand how he has gotten so much traction and gone so far along
this "Real Satoshi" claim, who in their right mind was the first person to believe
his claims without asking the question which we are asking now and have been
asking for quite some time, "sign a message ...and until such time as the message is signed you are treated as a fake"
The answer to every statement he ever said about Satoshi's wallets or ownership
of same should have been "sign a message from a known Satoshi wallet ...and until such time as the message is signed you are treated as a fake"

Dont need CLUES, just one task, ask him to sign a message from a known Satoshi wallet2016

Great, ask him to sign a message from one of the Satoshi walletshttps://www.economist.com/briefing/2016/05/02/craig-wright-reveals-himself-as-satoshi-nakamotoCraig Wright reveals himself as Satoshi Nakamoto
Did you ask him to sign a message from one of the Satoshi wallets? and so on and so on until we get all the way into court and still the question is not being asked....
and the statement isnt being said, "if you cannot access the wallets . . . sorry for your troubles, come back to us when you can"
Its amazing how blindly some people can be led down a winding path
