🔥 Craig Wright is Accused of ‘Industrial Scale’ Forgeries on First Day of COPA Trial in the U.K. COPA, challenging Wright’s claim to be Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto, accuses him of forging documents on an “industrial scale.” Wright’s counsel argues COPA can’t provide direct evidence against his claim. The trial involves heated exchanges, and the presiding judge has allowed new evidence from Wright, pending review and cross-examination by COPA. COPA hopes for an injunction to prevent future legal challenges from Wright.

❗ COPA is backed by Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and several high-profile industry players such as Coinbase and MicroStrategy,

Lord Anthony Grabiner said :“COPA has been unable to point to any direct evidence that Dr. Wright is not Satoshi,” He also claimed that no one else has come forward as Satoshi, which, he argued, suggests Wright is a likely candidate. Info via CoinDesk here http://tinyurl.com/mmxkhrn8
