Would you do business with Craig Wright?
I don't have anything to be doing "business" with anybody.... So no. Probably not... But does he have more money than me? Could I learn something from him? Would I go to dinner if invited? Yes.

Sounds like grp think. We're all human. I'd at least sit at the table and listen to form my own opinions on if he's a good human or not, bullshit aside.
