The Faketoshi series is a three-part takedown of Craig Wright’s brazen – and ultimately doomed – attempt to destroy Bitcoin by claiming to be its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The definitive Faketoshi book series sees Dr Bitcoin creators and hosts Mark Hunter and Arthur van Pelt delve into Wright’s past and show his Satoshi claim for what it always was: a cavalcade of lies, designed to enrich himself and his backers and prove his doubters wrong.
Volume 1 explores Wright’s formative years, his Bitcoin creation story and his battle with the Australian Taxation Office, which led directly to him donning the Satoshi mask as a way of avoiding financial ruin and a possible prison sentence. Along the way, we’ll see him fake multi-million-dollar contracts with his own companies, NASA, a Saudi banking giant and a porn baron; forge and then denounce evidence supporting everything from Seychelles trusts to stolen assets; ‘lose’ some of the most expensive supercomputers in the world; and much, much more.
Inspired by the podcast series and featuring evidence and testimony presented in court cases since, this ultimate Faketoshi book series lifts the lid on one of the most audacious and lunatic swindles ever attempted.
