I wish we would drop "eviscerate" from headline lexicon. Imagine reading: Edited highlights from the beheading of Craig Wright (ft.com)

  My first question would be whether there's a PPV. He is irredeemable.

    As the saying goes, "don't threaten me with a good time".

  In this case it fits, your proposed revision may be somewhat premature as of yet. But give him time...

    After reading in the ruling that his supposed "suicide attempt" didn't even result in any blood loss, I'm afraid he's unlikely to have the gumption to pull that off.

I hope this means we will never need to hear from this fraud again. I think he or companies under his name have a bunch of patents. I believe not all of them have been retracted (yet), so maybe this is not the end.

Craig seems like he could dupe someone without much technical knowledge, but how the heck can he dupe a company that claims to specialize in blockchain tech(nChain)? Is this just a case of really, really wanting the thing to be true?

  The company was created around, for, and with him-- and as far as I can tell has existed primarily as a tool to extend his fraud. It's an answer to a question you didn't ask: How can so many fall for Wright? Because of the industrial scale support he and his sponsors created that made the truth unthinkable to the people they sucked into their sphere of influence.
