Damn. I just buy my suits off the rack. Way cheaper.
- He should go to prison. Filing a suit that expensive could permanently damage it
  
  I've been saying it for years. Shuits should not be filed only shelved.
  
  At least he didn't defile it.
Looks like he won a stupid prize
- What I don't like about our time is that it's interesting in some baroque way. Lots of gruesome shit happens, Barry Lyndons occasionally float up, but in general it seems boring and depressing.
  
  I guess it's winter.
- Yea
How frustrating would it be to be this guy if his claims were true.
- Then it would be trivial to sign a message using his known wallet address that could be cryptographicly verified. But he is lying so he can't.
  
  I don't think this guy is Satoshi but no Bitcoin wallets known to belong to Satoshi have been active since their initial transactions. I think it's likely that the keys for those wallets have been lost. So I don't think the inability to sign these messages proves that he's not Satoshi, the fraud does though.
- Pretty sure they caught him in a lie or two
Free Fake-Satoshi
