Not sure why this nutcase is still relevant around. He's desperate for attention to further his scams.


Or what OP said, he's paid to troll.

This also from OP's link,

All Bitcoin And Lightning Users Are Thieves

The next blog post from Wright is a real legal reach. Wright essentially says that if a Bitcoin (BTC) is stolen, then it is considered stolen property even if it is transacted 1,000 times after that.

Therefore, if Bitcoin (BTC) is stolen and ends up in the Lightning Network eventually, then everyone who passed it along within the Lightning Network is committing theft, and would be subject to a court order and criminal penalties.

Wright actually goes on to say that any Bitcoin (BTC) miners which take transaction fees from stolen Bitcoin (BTC) are committing criminal acts as well. By this logic, if anyone out there ended up receiving a Satoshi of a stolen Bitcoin (BTC), even if it was stolen years ago, they are a criminal.

In a nutshell, Wright is saying that everyone who uses Bitcoin (BTC) and the Lightning Network, including miners, are trafficking stolen goods.

There are many more crazy Craig Wright blog posts than the few covered in this article. It is not necessary to analyze them though, the general summary of any of Wright’s articles is that he hates the crypto space and really wishes he could destroy it, and then replace it with Bitcoin SV (BSV). Perhaps in some dystopian parallel universe this has already happened, but hopefully in this universe Wright loses his big lawsuit with the heirs of Dave Kleiman and becomes a harmless fugitive.


Isn't that the same as cash? If stolen money was laundered through a bank, and everyone made a withdrawal of the stolen fiat from that bank, then we are all criminals?
