About Dr Bitcoin - The Man Who Wasn't Satoshi Nakamoto
In May 2024, Australian computer scientist Craig Wright became the most prolific evidence forger in modern British legal history. Wright was found to have forged and manipulated almost 500 pieces of evidence in his case against the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance, leading to a dramatic defeat that brought to an end a ten-year campaign to become legally recognised as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Had he been victorious, Wright could have netted himself and his cabal of shady backers tens of billions of pounds, but his defeat left him with a criminal conviction.
In this series, writer Mark Hunter and noted Craig Wright debunker consultant Arthur van Pelt look at Wright’s incredible story from start to finish, examining the unprecedented decade-long scam he perpetrated on his backers and supporters and the ignominious legal defeats that brought an end to his audacious effort.
The full story is now being told through a trilogy of books entitled 'Faketoshi: Fraud, Lies and the Battle for Bitcoin's Soul', with Volume I out on 1 September. Pre-order from www.drbitcoinpod.com.
