There are articles that do so (https://www.nikcub.com/posts/craig-wright-is-not-satoshi-nak...). The gist is that Australia via their tax authorities pays R&D credits in cash. Wright set up a corporate vehicle funded by the transfer _on paper_ of Bitcoins that are not proven to even exist. He used these to mostly buy software from himself and claimed a AU$3.1m R&D cash tax refund.

Ah. Case closed. Nothing to see here.

(1) Convince the world you're Satoshi.

(2) Snow some investors and raise a bunch of VC.

(3) Pay off tax authorities with VC to avoid going to jail; swap angry tax authorities for angry VCs. The former are criminal charges with nasty penalties, while the latter are civil and/or easier to defend criminal charges. At the very least you've kicked the can down the road.
