Sometimes we're not comfortable drawing conclusions until all the dots have been sufficiently connected.

Background In the spring of 2016, Craig Wright made a big news splash when, following a months-long trail of conspicuously placed breadcrumbs painting him as Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto, announcements were made that Wright had privately signed something with the private keys from the earliest Bitcoin block rewards, witnessed by people like Gavin Andresen, Jon Matonis and various journalists.
