This story says: >The article then mentions the above claim that SGI had no relationship with Craig Wright, and also attacks Wright’s academic credibility by stating he lied about his PhD degree – stating that Charles Sturt University never provided him with any PhD. But CoinGeek and I have already verified and confirmed that the degrees all do exist. Whereas Forbes says: > His now-wiped LinkedIn page [..] suggested he had a PhD in computer science with Sydney's Charles Sturt University (CSU). But a statement sent to FORBES today from the university said it had never handed Wright any PhD. "Mr Wright has not been awarded a PhD from CSU," the statement read. [0] Both of these statements can not be correct, right? Maybe he could he have gotten his PhD after the Forbes article? If so this article should make it clear that the early claims he did not have a PhD from CSU were correct but that this state of affairs has changed. This story also says: >CoinGeek has since received mounting evidence which in fact provide strong proofs that SGI did work closely with Craig Wright. Countless emails, records, documents, training material, reference letters, including a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement by both Chris Clarkson (formerly) of SGI, and Craig Wright. Also on hand is evidence of conference video footage of the two parties in question. However the linked article reads: >SGI says that “Cloudcroft has never been an SGI customer and SGI has no relationship with Cloudcroft CEO Craig Steven Wright.” [1] It could well be the case that Cloudcroft was not an SGI customer and that SGI has no relationship with Cloudcroft and also that Cloudcroft and SGI had communications. These are not mutually exclusive claims. [0]: Forbes: Time To Call A Hoax?

I remember this well. Never seen smearing until then. Which included advocates of bitcoin and other coins for various reasons. Happened the week of Craig's outing by the people extorting him. Here's some information class about he was teaching right until they scrubbed it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120430035605/http://www.itmasters.edu.au/WhichQualification/MasterofInformationSystemsSecurity/DigitalForensics.aspx https://web.archive.org/web/20120430035605/http://www.itmast... And another: https://archive.is/ttLth https://archive.is/ttLth This was on their youtube page: https://archive.is/gXPkX https://archive.is/gXPkX "Presented by Dr Craig Wright of Charles Sturt University and the Global Institute for Cyber Security + Research." The SGI endorsement letter existed. I have a copy, but the web version was scrubbed. The remaining evidence is in the form of a copy of press release http://archive.is/cqI6S http://archive.is/cqI6S

  'Teaching a class at' and 'receiving a degree from' an institution are two very different things. Not sure what these links are trying to prove or disprove?

    Can one teach a Master class with out a Master’s degree?

      Depends on the university but often yes. If Craig Wright has a PhD you should be able to find his dissertation, look up his advisor/thesis committee, see his publications in CS conferences, etc.

        Well if he submitted his thesis in 2017, he probably didn't have a PhD in 2015. Also there are several steps between submitting your thesis and getting your degree. I suspect he may very well have considered himself 'basically done' with his PhD several years ago and just started using the title. He wouldn't be the first
