He definitely has some level of IT knowledge but I have a feeling he's just a confidence trickster who's been making his way through life telling an escalating series of lies until he finally bit off more than he could chew by claiming he was Satoshi and by defrauding the Kleiman estate. The reason I say this is because around that time courts became involved (in Australia and Florida) and you could see the lies unfold in real time and you could see him scrambling to recover ... by weaving more lies into his tale.
There is no way any of this ends well for Craig Wright.

- smcl 6y agoEven better, this episode sums the entire thing up well: https://m.soundcloud.com/alabpodcast/episode-3-faketoshi-the-perfect-client https://m.soundcloud.com/alabpodcast/episode-3-faketoshi-the...

- smcl 6y agoYou're welcome, I'm always happy to share ALAB :-) The whole thing is pretty wild but one of my lasting memories of that episode is Craig losing his temper in a deposition because someone showed him a printout of an email he sent and he was claiming "that's not an email, it's a piece of paper". Incredible. Also (unrelated to Craig Wright and Bitcoin) if you liked the style of that podcast they also did a two-parter on Alan Dershowitz called "The Bully"
- christiansakai 6y agoOh wow that is wild lol.
