Tax evasion? That would be my best guess. That is one big way the governments will try to attack virtual currencies RE: Australian police raid home of suspected Bitcoin creator - Devils Advocate - 12-09-2015 Ive read several comments about this guy. Many people dont believe it's actually the bitcoin guy. But, other outlets are reporting this story and even named another guy, who is now dead, as an accomplice. People dont think the bitcoin guy would be caught unless he wanted to, because he's avoided detection for so long. Interesting story. Wright is quite the Renaissance Man.

It seems that Wright placed some clues to point to him being the creator, 4 years after the creation. Very interesting story. |
