Craig Wright Concedes Forged Documents in COPA v. Craig Wright Trial
On the fourth day of the COPA v. Craig Wright trial, it was revealed that many documents presented by Wright to support his claim as Satoshi Nakamoto were forged. COPA provided evidence of anachronisms in the documents, including fonts that didn’t exist when they were supposedly created, leading Wright to admit their inauthenticity. However, Wright shifted blame to various third parties, claiming mistakes by former solicitors, sabotage by ex-employees, hackers compromising his systems, and even autonomous alterations by the IT environment.
Wright’s Credibility Questioned
This development casts doubt on Wright’s credibility as an information security expert. He couldn’t affirm the authenticity of documents related to the Tulip Trust and even admitted he couldn’t vouch for anything being completely real. While Wright had a positive day previously, explaining Bitcoin’s network theory and presenting a 2008 document mentioning Bitcoin Cash, his technical capabilities to alter metadata raise concerns.
The Verdict Awaits
The trial is scheduled to continue until mid-March as the crypto community eagerly awaits the court’s ruling on Wright’s claim of being Bitcoin’s originator.
