Craig Wright Fails To Name Anyone He Sent Bitcoin To As “Satoshi”

In the ongoing COPA v. Wright trial, Craig Wright faced a significant setback as he was unable to name anyone outside of the public domain to whom he had sent Bitcoin under the name Satoshi. When questioned by prosecutors, Wright could not provide a single individual who had received Bitcoin from him as Satoshi. This weakness in his argument further undermines his claim to be the creator of Bitcoin. The court also questioned Wright about a public blog post he had signed to prove his identity as Satoshi, but this proof was criticized by experts. Tuesday’s proceedings revealed a weakening defense, with Wright struggling to provide satisfactory answers. The Bitcoin community showed strong support against Wright’s claims, and the judge had to intervene multiple times to elicit responses from him. Throughout the trial, Wright has attempted to discredit expert witnesses who have labeled his evidence as forgeries.
