Is this a suicide note?
- m52go 10y agoGosh it certainly reads like one. Same text is hosted at his root... http://www.drcraigwright.net/ http://www.drcraigwright.net/
- shanehoban 10y agoWhy is it a JPG, is there a hidden message encoded in it or something?
- anoonmoose 10y agoGiven that the entire source of his main website is <img src="homepage.jpg"> my first guess would be that he wanted to delete basically everything and leave a static message but didn't want to figure out how to do that minimally in HTML/etc. so he just did an image.
- rankam 10y agoIt looks like it was changed from an image to html within the last 5 minutes or so.

- pboutros 10y agoHow is this not the first thought people had? Poor guy, with a lot of signs of mental instability. The amount of animosity people have had towards him on HN (and elsewhere) isn't tempered by how obviously imbalanced he is. I think it's because of the disproportionate amount of media attention he's received for something he didn't earn.
- emmet 10y agoI did not expect to be the first one to bring it up. People are being very clinical here.
- anoonmoose 10y agoTo be fair to people here, we're discussing a new message by a person who is widely perceived to be running some type of scam. I hadn't considered the more serious subtext of this message but given the history here you have to consider that that might have been intentional to try to engender sympathy.
- emmet 10y agoThe internet loves to shoot first and ask questions later, but there's some things we need to be a little more compassionate about. I understand it's in his MO to pull a trick like this, but let's at least see that he's ok before treating it as such.
- bpchaps 10y agoYeah, but it still sounds like a legitimate suicide note and some semblance of worry makes sense.. I understand the desire fore fairness, but this was just posted without much followup context. Have a bit of heart for a second. If this whole story is the a result of a mental health issue, well - mental health is a serious mother fucker.
- throwanem 10y ago> it still sounds like a legitimate suicide note "Sounds". Let's not forget the guy's a con man.
- Kequc 10y agoThis is the clearest analysis of the situation. He is mentally unstable and needs help, not a media spotlight.

- agumonkey 10y agoIt does make me feel like Ian Murdock tweets a little. I find the whole Satoshi comedy a bit sad but not to the point where he would quit earth. Even in the case he made himself suffer. Hope it's just words so far.
- celticninja 10y agoGiven his character and previous form I would be more inclined to see it as another false trail, perhaps a prelude to faking his own death to avoid his tax problems.
- serg_chernata 10y agoI don't wish harm onto him but to me this reads as a continued cry for attention.
- lettergram 10y agoThat's exactly what I thought... I was also wondering this whole time if he was just delusional and had no idea why he couldn't prove who he was.
