I remember this well. Never seen smearing until then. Which included advocates of bitcoin and other coins for various reasons. Happened the week of Craig's outing by the people extorting him.

Here's some information class about he was teaching right until they scrubbed it: https://web.archive.org/web/20120430035605/http://www.itmast...

And another: https://archive.is/ttLth

This was on their youtube page: https://archive.is/gXPkX "Presented by Dr Craig Wright of Charles Sturt University and the Global Institute for Cyber Security + Research."

The SGI endorsement letter existed. I have a copy, but the web version was scrubbed. The remaining evidence is in the form of a copy of press release http://archive.is/cqI6S

'Teaching a class at' and 'receiving a degree from' an institution are two very different things. Not sure what these links are trying to prove or disprove?

Can one teach a Master class with out a Master’s degree?

Depends on the university but often yes.

If Craig Wright has a PhD you should be able to find his dissertation, look up his advisor/thesis committee, see his publications in CS conferences, etc.

Perhaps this is it?

Doctor of Philosophy

Well if he submitted his thesis in 2017, he probably didn't have a PhD in 2015. Also there are several steps between submitting your thesis and getting your degree.

I suspect he may very well have considered himself 'basically done' with his PhD several years ago and just started using the title. He wouldn't be the first

[moyix]

Yep, that looks like it. And you can go from there to his advisor's home page and see he's listed as one of his PhD students:

Acknowledgments include supervisors/advisers.

I doubt most schools would hire a teacher unless at minimum they are pursuing a master's/doctoral if they don't have one.

"Many 2-year community colleges often hire instructors with only master’s degrees, as long as they have some teaching experience. Four-year colleges and universities usually require a doctoral degree, unless you have decades of experience in your field, in addition to a master’s." http://www.teachingdegree.org/types-of-teachers/higher-educa...

If you have such a copy of the SGI endorsement letter, why don't you post it? I don't think a press release written by Craig Wright is particularly compelling evidence.

That said, I don't actually doubt that the SGI letter exists, but also believe it was totally fabricated by Craig Wright.

There's a copy of the text here, not sure where you can find the PDF but the quote from the cloudcroft site is there:

Two copies were out there. One on an sgi domain the other republished on his company cloudcroft. Don't want to go into the archive because it massive and messy. Easier to let it play out.
