No the real red flag was trying to prove he had the keys and then using a cryptographic sleight of hand to fool a bunch of people. When this was discovered he backed away and said he won't be providing proof anymore. It wasn't even sophisticated.

All he has to do is sign a few words with an early wallet and the matter would be resolved instantly.

He's been caught out numerous times modifying timestamps on documents and flat out lying to deceive those with little understanding of cryptographic proofs.

The man is charlatan plain and simple.

He thought using some billionaire called Calvin would make people pay attention to Bitcoin SV and money would solve every problem he has but apparently it didn't work that way.

He tweeted he has enough assets to dump BTC down to $1000 in an poor attempt to threaten the BTC community but he now even deleted his Twitter account.

If he was really Satoshi, somehow he seems to have lost most of his brain in the last 10 years.
