For ten years, Australian IT security consultant Craig Wright tried to convince the world that he was the man behind the name Satoshi Nakamoto - the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. Had he succeeded, Wright would have earned himself and his cabal of enablers hundreds of billions of dollars while upending the multi-trillion dollar Bitcoin ecosystem almost overnight.

There was just one problem.

The whole thing was a fraud.

Across three volumes, author Mark Hunter and eminent Craig Wright debunker Arthur van Pelt, hosts of the popular podcast series Dr Bitcoin - The Man Who Wasn't Satoshi Nakamoto, expose the contradictions, fabrications and high-stakes manoeuvres behind Wright's decade-long deception. In Volume I, Mark and Arthur dive deep into Craig Wright's early life, drawing on court records, forensic investigations and Wright's own words to examine how his web of failed businesses and allegations of a seven-figure tax fraud led to his initial emergence as Satoshi.

If you thought The Missing Cryptoqueen was as crazy as crypto could get... think again.
