If you are funding someone up to 900k, so they can prove they are Satoshi, why not just send the 900k to Satoshi? "Hey I was gonna spend this anyways. If you're Satoshi, go get your money, Craig."
Makes more sense than someone accidentally immolating 27 bitcoin.
The whole situation with those two is strange. I guess this makes sense.
Honestly, I think you would have to be borderline retarded to believe Craig for more than 5 minutes, let alone YEARS.
I think they (Calvin, Christian, Stefan, et al.) are done with Craig. They haven't been able to sell off their patents-in-a-poke scheme through nChain (read "The Satoshi Affair" for more on this), and they've probably just been using BSV to run low-level crypto scams and money laundering for years. The juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore, and they are performing a "limited hangout" by publicly putting all the evil on Craig.
No honor among thieves.
I buy it. Had to end at some point
That of course would mean that the public firings of Christian and Craig were partly for show, and partly to distance Craig. The leaked internal emails in the wake of their internal mock COPA trial would have had to have been staged. And that would also mean that they won't touch Christian, despite him having done several things warranting a lawsuit.
They would rather look dumb than guilty.
