(I hope some people get to which the title refers to) the reference Rumors started a few months ago: Craig Steven Wright (CSW) was planning a comeback. The rumors became louder and started coming from multiple sources after the of this year. Satoshi Roundtable Then the 12th of April came the news: nChain was acquired by High Tech Private Equity Fund SICAV plc A company built around the research of Craig Wright, who has claimed to have invented the bitcoin cryptocurrency, has been sold to a private equity firm in a deal the company says is the biggest to date involving bitcoin’s underlying blockchain technology. Be careful when going to the actual website (nchain.com) since apparently can’t create a simple and secure website. “ 60 world-class scientific research, engineering and other professionals” They really seem to be in to patents for some reason: Yesterday they announced that Jon Matonis, former Bitcoin Foundation director, was joining nChain as Vice President of Corporate Strategy. This shouldn’t really come as a big surprise since he was/is convinced that . CSW is actually Satoshi It isn’t at this point. Because I see a certain narrative being pushed and people involved with it have a lot of money and/or have been bamboozled before. It is better to spread some awareness about it.

Game plan: Get more “famous” Bitcoin people on your side, to give the illusion of relevance and authority. Patent troll everyone. Profit. Bonus: create your own implementation backed by 1 rich investor, 1 fake Satoshi and 1 miner who controls majority of the hashrate to “fire Core”. *Edit* Found an interesting post with .*/edit* potential CSW related shell companies For a good laugh, be sure to check out . hoaxchain Relevant: Donation address: 1FMy1kpeCY7BESwUaVcM5XAy1bmaWJaXKv.
