Re: Craig "Faketoshi" Wright saga continues. His team turns against him.
Either way, I think its a symptom of some kind of neurological or psychological problem. We should stop giving him so much attention.
The Bitcoin community essentially ignored him from half way through 2016 until 2018.
I believe 2015 was when Faketoshi was first "introduced" to the community when he joined Nick Szabo and other Bitcoiners in a panel through live stream. There were some people, the big blockers, who insist that it was Nick Szabo who introduced him as Satoshi, which is simply not true.
Plus was the community ignoring him from 2016 to 2018? It was a nocoiner friend of mine that texted me that "Satoshi's real identity was discovered" after early news of Gavin Andresen and Faketoshi's "private signing sessions" was everywhere during 2016. That's probably when the community started talking about him.

In the darkness he was able to assemble a scamming crew of well over a hundred people, including a marketing firm, a media company, acquired an altcoin factory, and the services of four law firms on different continents. I've heard credible estimates of around 300 people working in service of the greater scheme there, not including the attorneys. His representatives are lobbying governments all over the world, meeting with state and federal congress people in the US.
The name that never gets mentioned is, Jon Matonis. How important is he in the anti-Bitcoin apparatus launched by Faketoshi?
