How do you deal with this crap, when someone can just make up a story, and sue you?
These are quite dangerous and desperate people, so I'm still exploring ways I can fight this while keeping my anonymity. It's looking like it may actually be possible, but we'll have to see about that. I'm surprised he hasn't attracted the attention of law enforcement yet, especially after trying to seize £3B worth of Bitcoin with a totally made up story.
Hopefully it won't be too long until he's thrown in jail.
What crimes do you think CSW has committed? Making accusations in court is typically protected speech, as long as the person does not lie while under oath. Lawyers filing frivolous lawsuits can be subject to sanctions, but this will not affect the client. I don't follow CSW's story very closely, but I have followed it closely enough to conclude that I believe he is not satoshi. I also read some of the testimony he gave a few years back, and it sounds like he is very good at playing with words in a way that will confuse people.
I am not familiar with UK copyright law, but I am surprised the court would even recognize as having jurisdiction over the matter if bitcoin.org does not have a registered agent in the UK.
My suspicion is that the purpose of all these lawsuits is not necessarily to obtain money from the people he is suing, but rather to get a judge to rule that he is in fact satoshi (see my above comment about CWS being good at confusing people by playing with words).
If you read my recent post in dev & tech discussion you'll see how he completely exposed himself to me on twitter back in 2019. He knows he's never going to get any sort of ruling or anything what so ever that says he's satoshi or awards him coins or whatever..but what he is doing is keeping up the charade. There's A LOT of idiots out there who still buy his bs. He of course needs to keep them believing that he really is Satoshi, and if he stops fighting /making up lies etc..he will lose a lot of support. Of course if he was ever fully exposed, he'd lose everything. He's a true piece of gutter filth.
