Good effort. I also checked one bitcoin address, message, and Signature given in OP and that's valid .
We all know from the day very beginning that he is faketoshi but this is now a confirmation that he is really a faketoshi.
(Remove "" from message for verification purposes)
Interesting tool you found there. However as a software developer myself I must disappoint you and warn you this graphical user interface is flawed.
It does not show on which blockchain this verification takes place.
Examining the bitcoin address with bitcoin explorer it shows a strange result:
1. The BCH blockchain does contain 50 value on this address.
2. The BTC blockchain does not contain 50 value on this address and shows no transactions have taken place.
As far as I can remember BCH was copied from BTC.
According to google search result BCH was created in 2017.
So here is a mysterious question for you:
How is it possible that BCH shows this verification (or at least this tool) is true/there (in 2009 ?!?!)
While BTC does not ?!
Was this transaction somehow added to the BCH blockchain ? This could mean the BCH blockchain is compromised and fake.
Or was it deleted from BTC.
I am no expert in all of this, but this is fishy for sure ?!
Here you can check this bitcoin address for yourself:
BCH:

BTC:
https://explorer.bitcoin.com/btc/address/1MRHrSxnmtUTv48UpxorA9PX2nSEC9yndi^^^
WHAT IS VERY FISHY ABOUT THIS ONE IS, WHEN YOU OPEN IT, IT WILL SHOW A POP-UP REDIRECTING YOU TO THE BCH version.
So you must be very quick and click CANCEL within 4 SECONDS, otherwise you may be deceived in believing it is on BTC.
How's that for fishy ?!?
Explanations
Well perhaps I miss-understand some things about this news. I was under the impression that this message was from 2009, which could not really be possible because craight wreight seems to appear later in the scene.
So perhaps this is a recent message and was "simply" signed by somebody having the private keys to those bitcoin address in the BCH blockchain...
Perhaps these private keys are also valid on the BTC chain, however there is no real prove of that because there are no transactions or value on that chain, so how can we be sure this signature means anything ? Even if it did mean anything... any fool including craig himself can write shit like this.... so I kinda laugh at this...
But my question is actually more disturbing then this signing... so I repeat my question:
How is it that the BTC and BCH blockchains appear to be different in 2009 ?!?!?
That makes no sense to me and seems fishy. They should be identical ?! Since BCH blockchain was copied from BTC perhaps in 2017, to transactions from 2009 to 2017 should be the same on both chains.
I can remember even selling some BCH for PascalCoins back when bitcoin cash came to be... so that copieing was real as far as I can tell.... or perhaps it was another coin but I dont think so... I will check this later.
IT COULD BE INTERESTING TO COMPARE THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN VS THE BITCOIN CASH BLOCKCHAIN TO SEE WHERE THEY DIFFER. HAS ANYBODY EVER DONE THAT ?!?!
Other explanations for this discrepancy could be this website does something weird or the bitcoin cash software does something weird... perhaps this web tool simply uses that software from bitcoin cash... and pipes it through to the web...
One simply trick a hacker or scammer could use is to implement and keep track of a "shadow blockchain or database or part" inside bitcoin cash and consult if certain addresses contain money according to the shadow database. Perhaps this database is hidden somehow in BTC itself... I can remember it was possible to upload data long ago to the bitcoin blockchain itself... by inserting data into comments or something like that for blocks or transactions. Perhaps these possibly fake transactions are stored in BTC blockchain data/comments. This would be a very funny scam if it turns out to be true.
