And he backtracks

New York (AP) -- Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright, the man who came forward this week as bitcoin's founder, is backtracking. He wrote in a blog post that he does not "have the courage" to publish additional proof, as promised, that he is the elusive creator of the Internet currency.

Wright said on Wednesday that he would provide additional proof to back up his assertion, which drew widespread skepticism. Instead, he scrubbed his blog clean of past entries and posted a short statement titled "I'm Sorry."

Wright didn't explicitly withdraw his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, bitcoin's mysterious founder; he wrote that he thought he could "put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me." But as this week's events unfolded, he wrote that he is "not strong enough for this."

This fraud deleted every post from his blog and the home page reads this

Spoiler

I’m Sorry
I believed that I could do this. I believed that I could put the years of anonymity and hiding behind me. But, as the events of this week unfolded and I prepared to publish the proof of access to the earliest keys, I broke. I do not have the courage. I cannot.

When the rumors began, my qualifications and character were attacked. When those allegations were proven false, new allegations have already begun. I know now that I am not strong enough for this.

I know that this weakness will cause great damage to those that have supported me, and particularly to Jon Matonis and Gavin Andresen. I can only hope that their honour and credibility is not irreparably tainted by my actions. They were not deceived, but I know that the world will never believe that now. I can only say I’m sorry.

And goodbye.

Maybe this was a chess move by him all along. Reddit posters claim that he wanted to prove that it's not him by coming out and saying he is Satoshi. He knew experts would debunk his claim. The reason? To get the feds off him for tax fraud.
