He's got some serious mental issues.
My favorite part about the saga is that after he claimed to be Satoshi and have access to billions of dollars, everyone involved in lawsuits with him agreed.
"Yeah, okay you've got billions of dollars. So that means you owe the plaintiff half of that, and the Australian tax authorities a chunk too."
What are the theories about why the real Satoshi doesn't just move all the coin to another wallet himself to prove that Craig Wright is just a scammer?

Here’s a video of Craig Wright being called out by an actual expert and it’s hilarious https://youtu.be/0thnCDgRJfM . He clearly has no clue how ECDSA signatures work.
Does anyone find the other guys claim more interesting? That you can derive private keys after just one transaction.
Edit: I see. It's confusingly worded but that makes sense.
"They've all refused Wright's demands, though a firm called nChain Ltd is 'said to be working on a modification to the existing BSV client software, which would enable someone who owns but cannot access the BSV to regain control of them.'" Note that Craig Wright is the Chief Science Officer of nChain[0]. It seems cryptocurrency enthusiasts love irreversible transactions until they have one of their own transactions t…
In this case though the problem isn't irreversible transactions, it is that Craig Wright does not and has never owned the coins he claims to have owned.
"Faketoshi" as he's known in the community always finds a new way to NOT be able to prove he has access to the early mined coins. It's honestly comical at this point the different bullshit he comes up with. My favorite so far was finding an existing signature on the blockchain from Satoshi, modifying the data, then publishing the signature with different data in an attempt to claim to be the creator of Bitcoin. Every…

Because the real Satoshi might be dead and took the keys with him to grave. I, to this day don't understand why it's not obvious why Satoshi has not done anything public for over 10 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Kleiman Craig knew Dave, knows the coins are so close to his reach but he will never get to them.

(edit: ignore me) Yeah that sounds like he mis-spoke. You can't get the private key from a signature, or the protocol is broken. Edit: I see. It's confusingly worded but that makes sense.

Literally the only thing heard from Satoshi since he disappeared was a post from a mailing list from a known email address of his saying "I am not Craig Wright"

That's what we did to get the PS3 signing keys. Accidentally became a bit of a citation in the ECDSA world for that one too; who knew Sony would unwittingly earn the title of "canonical example of how to screw up ECDSA in a consumer product"? :-)
It's also how lots of Bitcoin have been taken away when transactions are signed using broken random number generators. These days people are running bots to spot those keypairs and automatically take the bitcoin.
