Towards the end of 35,000 words about Craig Wright: "I found all this a bit odd" O RLYpic.twitter.com/4vLYT32yeO

I cannot take this anymore, I really cannot
"Well, it looks like he just faked his own proof, and also lied about someone else changing it, but"pic.twitter.com/LaccAoRW1X
Which of the 18 disciplines of Ninjutsu is this
Note that author does not look into whether the hints of prosecution are remotely plausible
Although I suppose everyone spent a lot of time dropping hints about links to the Silk Road for some reason
It's not impossible, but look.
Wright spends a lot of time ranting about how Redditors only want the most convoluted explanation; Occam's Razor, etc.
Let's apply Occam's Razor to this situation. Guy who claims to be Satoshi perpetrates massive tax fraud, lies about degrees, supercomputers,
forges and backdates PGP keys, blogposts; likely makes up the existence of a trust; lies to the BBC while LRB writer is present;
passes out fake evidence on USB drives given to reporters at press conference; fakes the proof of his identity; lies about faking the proof;
.... What's the more likely scenario here? 30% Satoshi, or 100% fake?
(30% Satoshi would make a great manga title)
Postscript: The pesky trustees of the Tulip Trust are basically the Canadian girlfriends of this whole story
Second, longer postscript: the way CSW treated Gavin Andresen at their meeting, I think, is the most interesting and revealing part
He got Andresen to soften up towards him with initial correspondence, then likely dangled a carrot
Andresen came to the meeting feeling friendly towards Wright, but equipped to properly scrutinize the proof.
When Andresen asked to run the proof on his own computer, Wright threw an exhausting tantrum.
He stretches it out. Makes everything tense. Gets everyone to try to placate him. An assistant has to run out and get a fresh computer
By the time they run the proof on the second computer, Andresen is tired and probably low on blood sugarpic.twitter.com/98AseyzxYj
IIRC, Andresen doesn't get an opportunity to inspect the code?
LRB says there were "tears" in Wright's eyes. It's an emotional moment. Everything is set up to feel final.
This is a master manipulator who cons technologists, businesspeople, journalists, and even someone who knew Satoshi.
