"Very simple; very easy: good! When every single person on this globe pays for their cup of coffee---pays for their whatever they want---every day using one single central currency (and I'll say central; one distributed central currency) that is not controlled, that is hard money.
That's what Bitcoin is about: hard central controlled, no one can change, money."
To anyone with even a passing familiarity with Bitcoin, this makes obvious that he very simply doesn't understand what Bitcoin is. I mean, not even a little bit. Not even superficially. If this doesn't settle the question for everyone, once and for all, there is little point in further discussing Craig Wright, or for that matter anything related to Bitcoin.
It excludes his self correction.

"distributed central currency"
And about PGP key... If you took a look at his appearance in Future of Bitcoin conference, you understood, that actually, he signed with fabricated key Nobel prize winner, additional to that, if you took a second to read that text, you understood, that he don't even had intention to sign with real key.
He mentions the PGP key, but only connects it to the Australian Tax Office (which he defrauded, and is now living in the UK). I'm not sure how that's supposed to change my conclusion.

Prove it.
Known fraud and scammer
Evidence?
"And for all my searching, I can't find any evidence that CW was actually convicted of any fraud or taxation crimes, despite everyone yelling from the tree tops that he's a scammer and a fraud." [0]
He has recently threatened to sue anyone who questions his claims
You are mistaken. He's not suing anyone who questions his claims. He can sue for libel.

Craig Wright is a known fraud and scammer, who claims to be Satoshi. He not only failed to prove it, but created a clearly fabricated PGP key to do so [2]. He has recently threatened to sue anyone who questions his claims [3]. Stay far, far away.
