We all knew this. If he had been the real Satoshi, he could have just signed a message with Satoshi's private keys and proved it, and he did not.

The real satoshi would never do any of the things Craig Wright did. I think that was the most obvious clue.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall just to hear him explaining to Calvin how he plans to get him his money back :D

I’ll say this much… his dedication to stick to the script was unwavering, even if he did like zero research into a way to make people believe him.
