Well guys, I'm in Lisbon, and the other day I met this guy, I will not say his name, I met him at a networking event at a startup oriented co working space. He introduced himself as one of the biggest blockchain experts in the world. And that the government is on to him...

CheckDavid: And then did he state that he was actually Satoshi, and just needed some startup capital to tide him over until such time as he could access his vast bitcoin fortune and then for sure he was going to pay you back?
<midnightmagic>
LOLOL
<midnightmagic>
CheckDavid: Was his name Craig Wright?
<CheckDavid>
That would be a bad move
<CheckDavid>
No, it wasn't.
<midnightmagic>
What would be a bad move? Someone telling you his name is Craig Wright?
<CheckDavid>
I don't want to say his name
<midnightmagic>
Or someone telling you he needed money in his advance-fee-fraud-I-mean-charitable-investment..
<CheckDavid>
To say he was satoshi
<CheckDavid>
to con me into that
<CheckDavid>
Because, satoshi doesn't need any of that I'm sure
<midnightmagic>
That conster convinced dozens of very rich people who thought they were cleverer than they are, including cryptographer-type semi-academics..
<midnightmagic>
.. that he did need money.
<CheckDavid>
You men Craig Wright?
<midnightmagic>
CheckDavid: You know, the absolute best people I've ever met typically didn't try to convince me they were the best when I was introduced to them.
<midnightmagic>
CheckDavid: Yep.
<CheckDavid>
But for how long did he do it?
copumpkin has quit [Quit: My MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…]
<midnightmagic>
CheckDavid: Dude totally did an advance-fee fraud dude. He was shopping around for victims quite some time before his actual coming-out party.
<midnightmagic>
CheckDavid: Like.. a year before his coming-out party with the weird press photos?
<CheckDavid>
Oh, I'm not aware of parties or anything, I'm not in the know
<midnightmagic>
The hilariously offtopic photos with non-equation equations on glass which most press picked up on and The Guardian actively mocked in a caption.
<midnightmagic>
When I say "party" I actually just mean press embargo lifting-dates and simult-publishing.
<CheckDavid>
SO it was well thought out.
<midnightmagic>
No it wasn't.
<midnightmagic>
That's why literally within hours of being published, he was instantaneously outed as a fraud.
<sipa>
well he got what he needed, no?
<midnightmagic>
I'm hoping he also (at some point) gets what he deserves, too.
<CheckDavid>
Well, that was audacious.
<CheckDavid>
I couldn't do a move like that.
<kanzure>
where is the proof-of-proof-of-work presentation from last month?
<midnightmagic>
It was either desperation, or rolling around in his mind for years, or possibly just his hail-Mary attempt to set himself up for life.
<midnightmagic>
Too bad all those rich people are too embarrassed and prideful to tell us how much money they gave him.
