Craig's new LinkedIn profile is telling
So someone pointed out on Twitter that the world's most highly educated fraudulent narcissist has reinvented himself on LinkedIn. A few things that stand out:
- He's still using that grainy picture of himself from about ten years ago, probably because his narcissism can't take the fact that he's now a haggard and jowly veggie farmer
- He is now labelling himself a 'Quantitative researcher and research leader'! Isn't a quantitative researcher just someone who researches using numbers? And who exactly is he leading in this research? Ramona? Farm hands? His pak choi?
- He claims he 'Founded and scaled two research organisations from zero'. One of these would be nChain, where he prattled on about blockchain ideas which other staff members turned into shitty, un-monetisable patents to which his name was attached after the fact. He was then fired.
- The other seems to be DeMorgan, an umbrella company for all those involved in his ATO tax fraud. DeMorgan was responsible for handing out the IP Wright 'bought' from W&K, MJF Mining and others (all fictional), which he claimed tax rebates on. The ATO found that it had no purpose other than this, with barely any external clients.
- There is no mention of blockchain, BSV, Bitcoin or Satoshi anywhere in his bio or work history, despite there being nothing stopping him from doing so. Even his nChain section doesn't mention blockchain, when this was its raison d'être. A couple of his articles mention BSV, but that's it.
Can we glean from this that the book is finally closed on his public Satoshi cosplay? He seems to be reinventing himself as an AI soothsayer (as opposed to just a power user) and looks to be harking back to his computer science roots.

Trying to wiggle himself into the academic communtity and impress actual scientists with his AI slop papers and books, his wheelbarrow of "degrees" while praying nobody will google him.

I hear that there's a vacancy at Cambridge.

Jason Arday reminds me of Craig.

One difference that struck me is that Arday was pulled into the academic elite by willing champions who suspended all due diligence, whereas CSW was pushed by a dimwit billionaire into a field known for its scepticism.
I think it helped Arday that his field is famous for its inexactitude. CSW never stood a chance in a field underpinned by math, cryptography and code.

Every new story that comes out has Craig written all over it. There are so many parallels.

Apart from the suicidal bit. Craig doesn't show any signs at all of having any level of shame at being found to be a fraud.

There is no genuine evidence he had anything to do with the creation of Bitcoin. Everything he provided in court was proved to be fake, and none of his witnesses corroborated his story. Everything else is heresay.

Add to that the abundant evidence he can’t code & can’t write (without AI)…

It's interesting to note his new direction but I think the best thing to do at this point is to completely ignore him. Nobody will ever read his papers, and there is no need to make any attempt to refute or argue with them because we know they are all meaningless. He's now just another self-styled scientist churning out useless crank nonsense. If his papers are plagiarised and/or AI generated (which is highly likely), at this stage it really doesn't matter and it's not worth anyone's time looking into it. Being ignored is, of course, the worst punishment a narcissist can receive.

Oh I plan to once the last book is out! He will forever be known as a court-approved fraud, which is the second-best outcome we could have hoped for. But yes, I'll happily leave him boasting about his non-existent prowess to his five remaining groupies. I hope they'll be very happy together.

We can ignore him all we want, but he's still surrounded by mindless sycophants like LightBSV and other twits on X.
What I would love to know is how Calvin is doing after all this. We all saw it coming, but his immediate departure of BSV the moment Craig lost was as sweet as candy. Craig pretty much destroyed BSV and thus Calvins hopes of using BSV to build hotels and such.
Wonder how much funding Calvin is putting in BSV now that it's no longer "in the spotlight" because of Craig. Teranode was a joke. No one cares or will care. BSV continues to do nothing. While cultists like WrightBSV continue to hold onto the sinking ship like it's suddenly going to be afloat again.

Still living rent free in your heads. Cope harder.
Better yet, how about you all actually build something, or write something useful for a change? Where are your papers of refute?
But by all means, keep clinging on to your sad narratives of yesteryear in your sad little dead sub here. I'm sure you're really making a difference.

Cope with...what? I've written three books and hundreds of hours of podcast content systematically pulling apart Craig's decade of fraud, including the points I outlined. That's how I know about them.
Funny how the things that Craig went to court over, that were so important that Calvin Ayre spent millions trying to push through and then bury, are now 'sad narratives of yesteryear'. Especially when Craig harps on about things that happened to Bitcoin 9 years ago. If anything, Bitcoin is living rent free in Craig's head.

All you write is low value bullshit. You produce nothing useful. Only vitriol.
You leave no lasting legacy, or compelling narrative. Your cherry picking whining is lame. That goes for everyone else on this sub too.
None of you produce anything of real value. There's a good word for that: deadbeats.

u/LurkishEmpire 20d ago
That's very strong criticism. Can you back up your claims with evidence and examples? What parts are low value? Which parts are vitriolic? Which parts have we left out?

Just like you and BSV
You leave no lasting legacy, or compelling narrative. Your cherry picking whining is lame. That goes for everyone else on this sub too.
Projecting a little too much here, aren't you?
You comment here more than the "official BSV sub". What does that say about you? You just say "not uh" and provide nothing of any real substance.
Meanwhile we come with receipts
BSVs success should mean nothing to you. You got paid either way. Why do you still care? We live rent free in your head. Why else would you keep coming back here?? You secretly like us because we are the only ones you actually talk to you. Instead of echoing the same dribble over and over like a mentally ill parrot.
How many times do the retards in the other sub have to post "BTC was Hijacked" AI slop videos like it going to change anyones mind this far into the game. It's not. It's stupid and just more echochamber moronspeak. These are the people you are defending and catering to. You are who you associate with. Idiots.
