Synopsis

In January 2015, Craig Wright was facing financial ruin, with the Australian Taxation Office having uncovered a potentially criminal operation involving his raft of companies. Six months later, he was sitting pretty, having signed a bailout deal that settled his tax affairs and afforded him a dream job in England. Somehow, Wright had turned it around.

In truth, Wright had accepted a ticking time bomb. The deal that saved him was predicated on one very important premise: that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. Wright had already claimed as much privately, but now he owed his salvation to the pseudonym. Wright's Satoshi gambit was meant to earn his backers billions of dollars, but his inability to keep his side of the bargain led to them nursing hefty reputational as well as financial losses.

In Volume II of Faketoshi: Fraud, Lies and the Battle for Bitcoin’s Soul, Mark Hunter and Arthur van Pelt continue their definitive account of Wright’s fraudulent exploits, covering his announcement on the world stage as Satoshi Nakamoto, the disastrous public proof session that followed and the $600 billion court case that revealed for the first time the true extent of Wright’s multi-year con.
