Faketoshi: Fraud, Lies and the Battle for Bitcoin’s Soul
Volume I (implied by content) or series title; not explicitly stated
Book • 2024
Mark Hunter and Arthur Van Pelt's FakeToshi Volume Two continues their investigative series into Craig Wright, focusing on his Australian tax-fraud origins, the backers who funded his claims, and the PR and legal maneuvers used to present him as Satoshi.
The authors draw on extensive public court records—particularly the Kleiman v.
Wright litigation—to reconstruct events from 2013 through 2021 and expose inconsistencies in Wright's narrative.
The book details the involvement of Calvin Ayre, Robert McGregor, the planned media reveal, the self-doxxing leak to Wired and Gizmodo, and the failed in-person signing sessions.
It also covers the Tulip Trust/bonded courier narrative and Wright's behaviour during the Bitcoin Cash fork wars, framing these episodes as part of a larger pattern of fraud and obfuscation.
Volume Two is positioned as the middle installment of a trilogy, with Volume Three promised to cover later libel and copyright cases.
