DISCLOSURE: I don’t believe any of these people to be Satoshi.



Debo Jurgen Etienne Guido – Belgium – (Copyrighted whitepaper)
Ronald Keala Kua Maria – Hawaii – Claims to be Satoshi but curiously trademarked “Bitcoin Cash”
Jörg Molt – Germany
Craig Steven Wright – Australia / United Kingdom (Copyrighted whitepaper & claims copyright over the bitcoin database)
Bilal Khalid(AKA James Caan ) – Pakistan / United Kingdom
Phil Wilson (aka Scronty) – New Zealand

These are people that have publicly stated that they are Satoshi Nakamoto. Other than Phil Wilson who claims to have worked with Craig Wright all of them claim to have worked independent of each other.

This all started on twitter where a conversation between Arthur van Pelt, Pete Myers and Adam Back came up with a brilliant suggestion:

Quote
They have all called each other frauds.

I would love to see a head to head debate between them chaired by
@adam3us



Have I left off any notable claimants from my list ?

Any suggestions on who should be hosting the event ?

Wei Liu and Arthur Van Pelt both registered the copyright to demonstrate how easy it is to lodge a copyright. They both claim “we are all Satoshi” rather than that they wrote the whitepaper.

Quote
Liu is a crypto entrepreneur from China and said his goal in registering the document was to point out that copyright is technically meaningless in this context. To be clear, Liu chose not to answer whether or not he is Satoshi Nakamoto when asked by CoinDesk.

He said:

“I filed it just to let people know anyone can register a copyright. Everyone can be Satoshi Nakamoto.”
