The addresses used there were not Satoshi addresses, but other addresses mined around the same time.

I think it's more correctly stated that it's not public knowledge if they were mined by Satoshi or not. One can say they were not part of the "Satoshi miner pattern" that was identified years ago, but we don't know exactly how many of the blocks mined outside that pattern were or were not Satoshi's. Hence my "might".
Why would Craig (falsely) claim to own not-Satoshi addresses, instead of claiming Satoshi addresses that are less likely to be used (due to exposure risk)?
So the reason why Craig would do this is simple. Craig is not only a fraud, but is also an incompetent fraud.
