Craig Wright admits to falsifying key documents to claim Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity
On the fourth day of the COPA v. Craig Wright trial, Wright admitted that many of the documents he presented to verify his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto were in fact forged.
In highlighting these developments, COPA showed evidence of anachronisms, including fonts that did not exist when the document was written. light Admitting their inauthenticity.
But Wright attributed the blame to several third parties: mistakes by a former lawyer, sabotage by a former employee, damage to systems by hackers, and even an IT environment that allowed autonomous changes to documents.
This puts Wright, who calls himself an information security expert, in an unfortunate light.
Further complicating his position, Wright was previously unable to verify the authenticity of documents relating to the so-called Tulip Trust filed in the U.S. Kleiman lawsuit.
Wright unintentionally supported COPA’s claims by saying, “I have no idea. And I can’t really guarantee that anything is completely real.”
Yesterday, Wright had a surprisingly positive day at the trial, as he raised concerns about COPA by releasing a 2008 document that comprehensively outlined Bitcoin’s network theory and cited Bitcoin Cash, which wasn’t released until 2017. .
However, the court recognizes that as a professional computer engineer, Wright had the technical ability to change metadata. The defendant admitted that he showed college students how to change the metadata of documents.
The trial is scheduled to last until mid-March, as the cryptocurrency community frustratingly awaits whether the court will rule out Wright’s claim to be the creator of Bitcoin.
