    Default Is Craig Wright the multimillionaire genius behind bitcoin?

    Interesting piece from GQ magazine about Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist who got a bit testy when he we was questioned about his role in creating bitcoin. Here's a small sampling of his behavior:

    Occasionally, [the interview] looked dangerously close to spilling over into physical violence. I dreaded having to explain it for the police report.

    But the gist was clear: in his expert opinion, Dr Courtois didn't feel Wright's evidence was conclusive. Wright, in turn, was not pleased about this.

    "The other interviews were easy," he exclaimed at one point. "This is bullshit!"

    It was suggested we move on.

    "You can validate," added Wright. "Or you can f*** off."
    Here's a link to the entire article: http://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article...n-craig-wright

    Even better, here's a link to some audio from the interview (skip ahead to the 2 minute mark for the good stuff):

    Gut feel - no.

    Satoshi Nakamoto was comfortable being anonymous - this guy seems to want to be adored / admired / famous.

    I think he's running a con.
