Can someone explain the public address thing? The courts seem to demand he list the public addresses where all Thai early mines bitcoin lies.

He says he cannot produce it because of this splintered trust.

But, the addresses are available for all to see on the blockchain itself, it is the private keys which are hidden away.

How is this basic fact just ignored in all these proceedings?

I think he cannot produce proof that he is owner of these address. The list is well known. He could spend, or even sign a message, with any of the private keys from an early address. That would prove he is satoshi. He has not done this. Therefore he is not satoshi.
