i think of it as craigs last ditch attempt to extort businesses for FIAT. before he shuffles the funds around. and then declares a bankruptcy and goes in hiding in yet another country

extort businesses for FIAT by playing on their naivity of not understanding what bitcoin is or how he should prove things

You don't know Satoshi Nakamoto, so you have no idea what he/she/they might or might not do.

thats a misunderstanding.  no, you cant patent something thats already been published.  these patents are for new blockchain related inventions and will only be granted if they're novel.   any attempt to patent something already in use won't be possible (and the patent lawyers know that, so they're unlikely to waste money trying).

As if documents seen by Reuters would add credibility to Wright. It's unbearable to read this. Wright is an imposter of the worst kind. If journalists would do responsible reporting they would state clearly the fact that Wright tried to fake a proof of identity. Also the personality traits of Wright are totally different from those of Satoshi.


Yeah, that's what's going to happen. After all he can now selectively quote media reports by major news agencies to companies to set the stage for his fraudulently claimed authority over Bitcoin. Luckily those affected will be most likely financial institutions without competence that want to install their private blockchains.

ya.ya.yo!

This is mostly correct.  Except the part about the patent lawyers.  They aren't wasting money, they are getting paid.  They will try to patent anything you want to try.  They make a fortune from it.  So, they file his applications happily without any regard to whether or not it has been published before.  However, the patent office might not grant the patent if it turns out there are publications. 

A guy called O'Hagan has written a book about him after spending some time with him. He says some business associates paid off Dr Wright 's debts to the Australian tax authorities after he tricked them into believing he's Satoshi.

In return they wanted the rights to his "inventions and patent application" and to sell them as the work of Satoshi Nakamoto. If that's true Dr Wright ripped them off worse than the Australian tax authorities.

O'Hagan doesn't prove who Satoshi is in his book, he only wants to make a fortune selling it.

ofcourse its a stupid patent strategy.
craig wright owns no bitcoins but suckered people a few years ago to give him millions(fiat) where he used a "vapour" trust as collateral(trust holding nothing)

then he went on to create a list of several companies and try playing one off the other (shell game) to garner more fiat.

and now he wants to make patent applications to then list those patents applications as company "assets" along with a *cough* life story *cough* exclusive and hopes to sell that business for a billion in fiat.

he is pretty much just a fiat scammer using the worlds half-knowledge of bitcoin to tell a little tale, i feel sorry for anyone that has ever invested funds into anything linked to craig wright.

He is obviously a sociopath. Wants attention and with that try to cash it in for something worthwhile. Look at his track record. Damn.

His PhD is in theology. There are only two kinds of people who take a degree in theology, priests and conmen, and Craig Wright sure as Hell isn't a priest.
