I don't think its ever about money for people like Hal, Szabo and Wei (and Satoshi if you believe he exists). Just passionate about what they are building. I'm sure he had enough bitcoins to leave for his children/family.

What a trip that must be. You die then a few seconds later you're alive but decades into the future. In some floating head robot body. If it doesn't work out you just stay dead so no worries.

CSW is a scam artist. BSV is about to fall on your heads anons, I'm simply warning you worried about your financial well-being, please see the light. The keys were not released, KREG is going to prolong the legal battle to keep the illusion of actually having the keys, when the only thing he had to do to prove who he claims to be was to log into satoshi's bitcoin talk account, or give information about his account that only satoshi could have, which could easily be verified by bitcointalk admins. He is a liar, a thief, and a sodomite arsonist who killed thousands of Koalas.

of course there is still greed involved. it is a very different situation when there are shareholders in a periphery position involved

Bitcointalk was hacked a few years ago and the passwords were dumped (with weak encryption).

there are hundreds of ways to prove his identity, he's just using the smoke and mirrors ones, to buy time and pump up the price. DO NOT FINANCIALLY RUIN YOURSELF ANONS.
