So there's some big news about Faketoshi and his claims on the Tulip Trust addresses. A message was signed from over 100 addresses that have BTC mined back in 2009: "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud. He doesn't possess the keys needed to sign this message. The Lightning Network is a cool development, but we gotta keep working on boosting on-chain capacity. Sadly, just changing a code constant or letting powerful players push out others isn't the way to go. We're all Satoshi." You can check this out and confirm if it's legit.

These are the address he provided in court right  . For the next few years he had his hands full to concentrate in court dealing and then will spend time behind bars for trying to produce fake documents and wasting the time of the court. The year 2020 is proving to be a good year for CSW  , first the doctorate in Plagiarism   and yet again faking documents in court. EDiT: Was able to verify all the address posted and all the wallets i checked had 50BTC. 145 wallets listed with a total of 7250BTC . He never thought that the claim would end up in court and shout out to Kleiman estate for dragging it to the court and hence the lies are exposed for everyone to see .

FOR ANYONE THAT WANTS TO VERIFY THIS INDEPENDENTLY It's possible. Here the things to consider: Here's the "Sharer's list" where Wright's alleged claimed blocks for the "tulip trust" appear: https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536.266.1.pdf link found via You have to understand why that list was faulty though. Read here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/gnzegk/a_primer_on_craig_wrights_claimed_blocks_tulip/ Addresses should be in the above list anyway. Now, to verify the message, you have to verify bitcoin signed messages. It can be done in a trust-based way using online tools. For a fully trust-less way to independently verify the validity of the message and ownership of the addresses with the signed messages, would be to download and install a bitcoin client locally. I can recommend bitcoin core, but there are "lighter" clients also. Here's slightly outdated posts that lists wallets capable of signing and verifying messages: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=990345.0 For what it's worth, my personal view is that this dump looks legit. Signatures validate and they also appear in Wright's "Tulip Trust" list. At least for all of the ones I checked at random. This is a cryptographically verified and trustless way to expose Craig Wright. This is big.

Nice! I do enjoy reading this stuff about CSW People like him just think they can lie and say whatever they want without any consequences whatsoever. We may see him in jail soon or he will escape to some foreign country.

If you do then head over to this thread where somebody is saying satoshi is just trolling him with those signed messages. What a real tool of CSW he is. Every thread he responds to is the same adolescent type post quality. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246331.0

I've checked a bunch of random addresses, around 30 or so, and they all appear in Craig's list of addresses he submitted to the court here (https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536/gov.uscourts.flsd.521536.512.7.pdf), and they all verify correctly for the message and signature provided. Also, all the addresses I checked don't have any transaction history (other than receiving the coinbase transaction), so no chance of tracing whoever did this. I wouldn't be surprised if this person owns other addresses on that list, but hasn't included them in this message since he's moved the coins on them at some point. Nice double whammy to stick the knife in BCash and BSV at the same time. Props to whoever this person is. We are all Satoshi (except for Craig Wright).

The signature seems to be valid, and addresses check out on Wright's Tulip Trust addresses. This just goes to show how deep the shit hole CSW dug for himself, and whoever owns the address must be laughing his/her arse off since he/she knows that CSW must be sweating bullets by now. Then again, we haven't heard from the man himself, and could be creating yet another web of lies to cover his fraudster tracks and origins. Boy oh boy, what a show it would be once CSW gets apprehended by the authorities for several cases, particularly fraud and plagiarism

So, with this, we might have finally seen the end of this nonsense with satoshi's vision and CSW. Although knowing that scumbag he will probably come with some new story on how he was raped by an elephant yesterday in the parking lot and somebody took the keys he has just received from his source.. But with this, we open another pandora's box, who the hell is the guy that has all those keys? Is the guy behind this really satoshi drama starts! At least he doesn't claim he is,..yet! Also, why now?? One more thing, out of all that dump, which is the oldest address and from what date?

Of course this will by no means be the end of the Faketoshi saga, such people never give up - except when they find themselves 2 meters underground. I can't remember what the CW claimed about these addresses at all, that he once had control over them, so he lost it and now he's waiting again for someone to send him his private keys or what? The man is so entangled in a lie that some others are sometimes quite confused as to where it all leads. Probably the same person who caused quite a bit of confusion a few days ago when BTC from 2009 block is moved for first time. The question is actually how many people 2009 actually knew about BTC, except of course Satoshi and Hal Finney - but this does not necessarily mean that one of them is directly involved in all this, but that the private keys have come to some other person/s. Whoever is behind this signed message, obviously does not like what the CW is doing and has decided to at least virtually slap him in the face, and we know that this is a real true holder who has thousands of BTC and has not sold them so far👍

BTC is trash and a criminal magnet.  There will be repercussions for unbelievers in the Truth.

Yep, unfortunately this won't be end of him and his group. BSV might plummet the same way it got pumped after first time he mentioned those addresses, maybe some followers will finally realize that he is full of shit, and that's it, show will go on. One stupid explanation I saw from one of his believers is that we don't actually know Tulip adressess, as they are sealed by the court, so all of this is just a media speculation. You know the saying that is perfect for this situation, "You cannot reason someone out of something he or she was not reasoned into."

About 10 days ago, I downloaded blockchair_bitcoin_addresses_latest.tsv.gz. From this, I confirm the following balances (in Satoshi) for each address in dkbit98's list: I didn't check all signed messages yet. To be thorough, I've also imported all of them in a new Bitcoin Core wallet (watch-only, unfortunately). It's currently rescanning the blockchain. Update: after a 2 hour rescan, I see only one transaction for 0.0001 BTC (received today on 1LfgsdyXxa59sggxG7iHC2jZdy26fWqBij). I don't understand why the rescan doesn't show the 7250 Bitcoin in those addresses.

This guy just won’t go away & stay out of the news, will he. What’s it going to take for him to be consigned to the trash can? I don’t know why he keeps staying relevant, hopefully this is the end of him.

Hmmmmm, You answered your own question if you could simply maintain some objectivity.

"We are all Satoshi" Made me feel the goosebumps, feeling that I want to feel like a Satoshi. To have 50 BTC. Lol. His relevant because of all the tactics that he pulled to prove that he is Satoshi and right now, it's all have been disproven. All the documents and all the people he involved in fabricating those documents that he submitted are going to be pretty angry right now. So sad.

Waiting CSW to come up with another excuse aside from the fired employee on nChain.

He'll probably make a dumb excuse like "I included these addresses in the Tulip Trust by accident, please remove them". Don't underestimate his stupidity.
