,,Hard pass on that "settlement."

Just like Craig Wright forges documents and doesn't quite tell the truth, his description of the settlement offer isn't quite accurate either - it comes with loopholes that would allow him to sue people all over again.''

The crazy part is that Craig can still get out of all the trouble he caused if he can settle.... luckily Peter McCormack isn't settling.

I hate this guy and the guy who “invented” email.
I was preparing to stand in defense of email,

but: you meant "invented email".

This is the clown who claimed to have private cryptographic keys which someone else used to write on the Satoshi Blockchain "Craig Wright is a fraud".

Pretty much every claim he ever makes either directly or indirectly requires absolute illiteracy to cryptography.

At first this Wright guy is just frustrating and annoying, but if you watch him over time you get insight into what serious delusion and mental illness really look like.

Does putting it in quotes protect you from libel charges? Honest question.
What annoys me is that the people who first promoted him, e.g. Andy Greenberg of Wired, were far from cryptography illiterates. I'm pretty sure they raised the profile of this fraud knowingly, out of a misguided effort to protect the privacy of the real Satoshi.

This is why you don't do that!
