Bitcoin creator named in new investigation
Has the man behind inventing Bitcoin been found?
According to two major technology magazines
the answer is yes, for years “Satoshi Nakamoto”,
a pseudonym used by Bitcoin’s creator was the mysterious
man behind the cryptocurrency but both Wired and
Gizmodo magazines have named 44 year old Australian
Brian Wright as the man who
invented Bitcoin.
Australian Federal police
searched Craig Steven
Wright’s properties, but said
the raid was about tax, not
Bitcoin.
But the raid came only a
few hours after both tech
magazines named Wright following
what they say is huge
evidence to support their
accusation.
Whether the raid is to do with tax or the fact that the
founder of Bitcoin holds over a million of the coins which at
today’s value is worth $400 million only time will tell once
authorities possibly charge Wright.
In supporting their findings the magazine sites say Mr
Wright said in an email: “I did my best to try and hide the
fact that I’ve been running Bitcoin since 2009. By the end of
this I think half the world is going to bloody know.”
However it is not the
first time someone was
named as the creator
of Bitcoin, last year
Newsweek said that
Satoshi Nakamoto was
a 64-year-old Japanese-American
living
near Los Angeles was
the creator, however it
turned out to be false
and the man did not
even know anything
about Bitcoins.
Newsweek were sued by Satoshi Nakamoto for stress and
the huge disruption the article had on his life.
Macau November revenues fall by over a third
November revenues for Macau fell again making it the
18th consecutive fall in revenues for the world’s largest
gambling zone. Gross gaming revenues fell by 32.3% in
the month to $2.1 billion.
The Macau’s Gaming Inspection and Coordination
Bureau reported that the fall was larger than expected
most analyst’s had expected it to be around 31%.
Numbers also showed that the city’s economy shrank by
24.2% year-on-year during three months to September,
the city’s Statistics and Census Service said.
“Economic contraction in the third quarter was attributable
to the continuous decline in exports of services, of
which exports of gaming services decreased by 37.4%
year-on-year and exports of other tourism services
dropped by 15.3%,” it added.
