I am an infamous Bitcoin address containing 79,956 BTC stolen from MtGox in 2011, coins which have never moved since. Many claim me but no one has my key.
@wizsecurity@MtGox Actually it's now known Craig was already privately claiming to own this address since years before, e.g. to the ATO. Not publicly known until the Kleiman v Wright lawsuit though.
A brief history of Craig Wright's false claims to own the @1FeexV6 Bitcoin address containing 80k BTC (one of many addresses he's claimed to own even though they belong to other people), over which he's launched a spurious lawsuit to harass Bitcoin developers:
@Optilon1 @wizsecurity Because the pattern is algorithmically generated from the address, and the pattern you get from 1FeexV6 is the one on the right.
Meaning Wright's paper wallet is actually for another address, and he just replaced the text and QR code.
Just so we're clear, Craig Wright has just openly admitted (via his lawyers) to be the guy that stole 80k BTC from Mtgox. The screenshots below show the court documents indicating the "1Feex" address is where the stolen Mtgox funds were sent. What do you have to say, @CalvinAyre?

did Craig buy the 1Feex address? @wizsecurity nope: the inputs were confirmed @MtGox deposits, and the 1Feex was the entire hotwallet of the time stolen from MtGox in 2011 as one transaction. was he the hacker? who knows, maybe the MtGox rehabilitation trustee should try find out
The 1Feex address contains ~80k BTC stolen from MtGox in March 2011. Craig Wright is claiming to have been in control of this address until recently, admitting legal liability for damages and interest?

Kooks from all over the world lie about being Satoshi or owning this address. They're obviously not all right, so why would you suppose any of them are?
People lie about identity, people lie about property, people lie about the craziest things. Doesn't matter why, they just do.
Never fall into the trap of thinking something must be true because it's too crazy to lie about.
Craig Wright is neither the first nor the last to claim to own the 1FeexV6 address. God knows why people lie about this stuff, you realize you're claiming responsibility for a theft right?
