Craig Steven Wright (WOT: nonperson) has reportedly hosted an event with reporters from various fiat media outlets where he faked signing a string with an early coinbase transaction in order to be declared actual Satoshi. For this ruse Hoaxtoshi took an existing transaction signed by the key credited in the block 9 coinbase transaction and acted as though he was signing at the event even though the signature had been actually produced long ago by the key's actual owner. Because of the positions the low quality rubes Hoaxtoshi selected for his audience hold in the fiat media order there are declarations that Hoaxtoshi is the actual Satoshi appearing in various news syndication channels including the BBC and CBS radio. These rubes were very understanding of the fact that Hoaxtoshi apparently couldn't actually move any coins because "the trust actually owns them"(TM)(R).

Brings to mind alchemists who secreted gold into wooden mixing sticks, false bottoms in crucibles, etc.
Except that involved greater skill. I mean this is just copypasta. Old alchemy required craftsmanship when it came to the deceptions.

Saved here because, much like irl, the hoaxtoshi story was drowned in chan by more important events.
For the record Coin Telegraph and the Ver outlet are running with the farce.
Prolly should archive them for later.
Not that the pile of self-crits accumulated during the years aren't enough.
Seems that even no one at the uni he claims to have worked at know him.
This dude is just out of-thin-air fake.
