To stop scams on Twitter, Elon Musk implemented a new policy aimed at terminating all fake accounts on his social network. That is what the municipality is now asking Craig S. Wright are banned because of this rule.
That is the justification of the public Wright imitates Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. That is, it would be imitation, which is against Twitter’s rules.
Moving on, the open letter also takes readers to a website that collects all the lies ever told by the computer scientist. The list is long and includes serious allegations such as plagiarism and signature forgery.
Twitter’s new policy
Before Elon Musk took over Twitter, the social network seemed like an environment conducive to scamming. A study of live coins pointed out that there were at least 500 fake accounts of Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, some even verified.
With that, the richest man in the world decided to take action and bring order to the house.
“From now on, any Twitter user who impersonates without clearly specifying that it is a ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended.”
Going forward, any Twitter treatment that engages in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended

Similar policies already existed, but Musk notes that scammers were more likely to get a “warning” rather than being banned.
As for the fake Buterin accounts, they still to be found🇧🇷 However, the number is much lower, demonstrating the success of Twitter’s new rules.
The community is calling for Craig Wright to be banned
Via Reddit, users wrote an “open letter” to Twitter’s CEO, questioning why Craig still follows Wright with his active account on the social network led by Elon Musk.
Your point is that Wright takes the description “Creator of Bitcoin” in his biography he claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto even though he never proved it.
Craig Wright doesn’t have the term “parody” in his name or biography. At the same time, he wrote the phrase “Creator of Bitcoin” in his biography. Why isn’t he permanently removed from Twitter?”
Musk has yet to respond to the letter, probably not read it.
In an old interview, the billionaire bet that Satoshi Nakamoto would be Nick Szabo, famous for inspiring the creation of Bitcoin with his projects. That is, he also does not believe in Wright’s rules.
Site collects lies told by a man claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto
In the letter, too, a link to an external website draws readers’ attention. In depth, the page shows all of Craig Wright’s lies and scams, which go far beyond his false claims that he created Bitcoin.
- Craig Wright edited old blog posts to link to the Bitcoin whitepaper;
- Craig Wright faked PGP keys;
- Craig Wright falsified contracts and emails;
- Craig Wright forged a public key signature;
- Craig Wright pretended to know how to code ASM;
- Craig Wright forged David Kleiman’s signature;
- Craig Wright faked a 2001 pre-Bitcoin whitepaper;
- Craig Wright plagiarized an article about mining;
- Craig Wright plagiarized a blog post about Bitcoin address generation.
The list goes on.
Finally, it’s worth remembering that Wright invited Elon Musk to an event last year while again claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, but was ignored by the billionaire.
“You and I have a long history of innovation, especially in payments. You at x.com, and me with Bitcoin, which I invented as Satoshi Nakamoto, so we can work together to change the world.”Wright told Musk at the time.
