    Craig Wright is such a gigantic tool. Anyone that puts an ounce of weight behind a single word of his is an even bigger tool. Sue me.

    Craig Wright, the guy who brought this lawsuit, has been suing people left and right for years.

    He lost a high profile case last year against a podcaster who called him a fraud. The judge ruled against Wright and found that he had "advanced a deliberately false case and put forward deliberately false evidence until days before trial".

    A user on HN is one of those affected. He posted a very detailed story about his awful experience: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34685029

    So I am confused, if I claim some one hacked me, I basically can forum shop, and state outlandish accusations, because "I got hacked"?

    Is this like when pedophiles claim they're part of the LGBTQ+ community?

    Nowhere in that article does it mention Dorsey has a patent which cites one of Wright's own patents here: https://patentcenter.uspto.gov/applications/16078605

    Or, that Dorsey has initiated litigation against Wright to steal his patent portfolio here: https://www.opencrypto.org/

    Dorsey is a sociopath.
