The fact that Craig paid for bitcoin.org and reported Bitcoin in his taxes in 2009 is pretty telling, especially the early correspondence verified by multiple parties. I think at this point there is no question that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. He has signed messages with blocks 1-9 and there has been a ton of Satoshi era BTC moving in the past month. Him signing or making transactions as himself would invalidate the fact that these BTC are controlled within trusts. He himself may not actually have the private keys to sign, and that doesn't prove anything in and of itself.


I think at this point it is clear that Craig is NOT Satoshi Nakamoto.
