The best of Craig... by Psalamist These are just my own favourite moments from the last four and a half years of his cosplay comedy Craig tells the community of the most gullible saps in internet history about when he was shot twice whilst working as a member of (the leader of?) a black ops team taking out human traffickers “permanently”: "I was offline for much of January 2011. During the time, I had travelled to Venezuela where I was working with a “Jawbreaker” team. The work was focused on stopping the trafficking of humans for the sex trade. I was in “prevention.” I did not bring people to justice, I worked with teams to stop things, permanently." "My “Blind Date” in Venezuela had me progressing West to the border of Colombia. It was my last operation of the type. I was shot twice, and evidence of it is likely to still exist on the Internet for all my efforts to have destroyed it. I met with Colombian El Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad (DAS) agents, as my job was accessing systems and information, and on the occasion, it was related to an operation associated with garnishing evidence against FARC-V. Before, I was what some people would call an “agent of influence.” https://web.archive.org/web/20190524061133/https://craigwright.net/blog/bitc... Craig makes his famous predictions of how the crypto markets will look at the end of 2019. He does not generally call price, but asserts with 97.8% probability that BSV will be over $1,200 (With 0.1% for no blockchain winning and 2.1% for another). He calculates with 96% probability that BSV will be the no. 1 coin within 2 years (so mid-2021) and that by then most people would be of the opinion that they always knew he was Satoshi. Now it’s easy for us to mock with hindsight, but the 0% accuracy of the world’s foremost expert on most things is quite surprising. Especially when he gives such specific probabilities on such a wide field of options. https://web.archive.org/web/20220915155655/https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinc... The rolling iceberg threat. He made it in 2019. It didn’t happen. Perhaps there are still BSVers living in a bunker somewhere waiting. Seems unlikely. File with the bonded courier and other such postering The checksum checkmate; Just a lovely gotcha moment. There is no coming back from that. Final proof that there is no BSV community now, just paid shills and scammers, as I cannot accept that anyone could read that account and still maintain that Creg was Satoshi Honourable mentions: Ryan wondering if Creg was Jesus returned (he isn’t), but I’m wary of posting that given as it was a pretty sad watch Turth logging all criticism of Creg, himself or BSV as “death threats” (whilst making death threats against anyone who criticises Creg, himself or BSV) [–]anonymouscitizen2 10 points 17 hours ago I’ll add the infamous pineapple story. Where Craig Wright said his home was broken into and a pineapple wifi scraping device was placed which stole the keys to the Mt Gox address among others. Craig also claimed that ATT data centers went down during the attack and implies the attackers were so sophisticated they also took down ATT to get into Craigs house undetected. When ATT was asked about the data center outage they said in no uncertain terms it never happened, they did not suffer an outage at all. When Craig was confronted about this later he claimed he never said ATT data centers went down (he 100% did) and it was just his own systems, then he called the people who brought it up trolls and blocked them. No investigation has been done in the largest home theft of all time in England and Craig seems fine with that. Later in Court Craig says he had a backup of these keys but he stomped the hard drive so nobody could make him sign anything for sure. Yep, the “hacked” Bitcoin worth >$1B that has never been moved from the starting address despite being hacked, he stomped. He could’ve gotten it out of the hacked address at least, nope, just stomped. Goodbye
$1B, I’m sure Calvin was pleased with that
permalink embed save report reply [–]AlreadyBannedOnceFanatic about BSV 7 points 17 hours ago ^ this because so many diverse elements. Home breakin, multiple security service outages, no police report, stomped on the hard drive (add no coin movement, but that's not Craig peeing himself, that's the world peeing on Craig.) permalink embed save parent report reply [–]LurkishEmpire 4 points 12 hours ago The big one for me is that neither he nor the police has ever appealed for witnesses. It's the biggest single heist in British history, carried out by some Oceans 11 team, and yet not once has any appeal been put out to see if anyone actually saw anything suspicious. I would love to be able to ask the police what they've done about this. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]Calculus99 1 point 10 hours ago WHERE IS THE "PINEAPPLE".... That is probably THE most important bit of evidence for the Police. Where was it bought, how was it bought, who bought it and so on. Think about it, it's hard to buy anything these days without leaving a trail of clues. The only way to secretly buy something is to wear a mask and pay with cash in a shop. But even then, with so many cameras around (public and private) it wouldn't be hard for the Police to track that person, how they got to the shop, where they went afterwards, what car (public transport) they used, when they took their mask off and so on. WHERE IS THE PINAPPLE and what do the Police know about it... permalink embed save parent report reply [–]HootieMcBEUB 1 point 2 hours ago Craig stated he has the pineapple.

So the Ninja raiders must have programmed it when they broke into his house? Again, how convenient.... permalink embed save parent report reply [–]LurkishEmpire 6 points 12 hours ago The drive he stomped on wasn't actually for these coins, it was (allegedly!) the key slices to the tulip trust coins, in a the form of a Shamir sharing scheme that would unlock the algorithms that would allow him to generate the private keys to the one million bitcoins mined in 2009/10. So it's actually worse, because he says he destroyed the tulip trust keys only for his wife to sue Ira Kleiman in 2021 for wiping hard disks that contained backups of the tulip trust keys! permalink embed save parent report reply [–]NervousNorbert 3 points 10 hours ago This doesn't even make the theft case any better; it just means his story is that he had a billion dollars worth of bitcoin on a computer connected to the internet, and this was the only copy – he had no backup at all. But he's one of the world's most highly regarded IT security experts. Oh and the private keys that were stolen were in an encrypted file, explaining why the bitcoins haven't moved. It's just a perfect "dog ate my homework" story. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]LurkishEmpire 3 points 10 hours ago And also he doesn't seem to have had any negative reaction to losing a billion dollars - just shrugged it off and said "it was too much money anyway". Yeah...no. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]anonymouscitizen2 1 point 7 hours ago He said he destroyed two drives overtime. He said this yea. He also said he destroyed the drive which had the mtgox address keys and evidence of the pineapple hack.

Such events, having the quality of historical independence, are referred to as statistically independent.

He's literally wanting people to perceive him as James fucking Bond. There are even moments in his many court cases where he's stated that he's unable to answer certain questions and his lawyer steps in to advise the judge that there are 'high-level' reasons for his inability to do so. Basically he's tapping his nose and saying that won't give an answer because that would risk exposing matters of national (or even global in this idiot's head) security and his lawyers believe this because he's told them it's true and the judge has to accept it because it is being said under oath and nobody is challenging it as being the utter fucking bullshit that it is. permalink embed save report reply [–]ohsomofo 2 points 3 hours ago I admire Craig for having the foresight to setup the most complex and convoluted data protection scheme imaginable in order to safeguard the block rewards from his mining back when Bitcoin had no value. Wouldn’t this complicated tulip trust scheme need to have been implemented from before the genesis block? Didn’t all these mining rewards go directly into the trust which held private keys which were protected by the Shamir scheme and the key slices scattered all over the world with the only way to retrieve them being a mad cap adventure with Nicholas Cage? At least he’s learning a bit. Now his predictions are dated around 2028 or something. Gives so much more s̵c̵h̵e̵m̵i̵n̵g̵ breathing room. And by then all predictions that don’t come to pass will have been long forgotten. permalink embed save report reply [–]ohsomofo 2 points 2 hours ago Now that I see that thought on screen, I guess all that could be implemented at any time. But at the time he said he did this, wasn’t that stash of Bitcoin only worth about $1 a coin or something? Although there was a spike in 2011, it just seems a bit far fetched to be putting that kind of effort to protect your magic internet beans. permalink embed save parent report reply [–]nullc 2 points 16 hours ago (from the OP) Ryan and Craig's second comming. permalink embed save report reply [–]StiltonG 2 points 14 hours ago Aka The Rapture!
