Through three weeks of COPA v Wright, one factor has hovered over the proceedings like a phantom: hundreds of documents submitted into evidence which the COPA says were forged by Dr. Craig Wright.
By the end of the first week of London’s COPA v Wright trial, it had become clear that Hough KC and COPA were left with a fatal conundrum: what do you put to the man who knows everything?
The COPA trial is reminiscent of the film "The Man in the White Suit," with not only the main character and Dr. Wright having similar fashion style but also seemingly foreshadowing his proceedings.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of COPA v Wright’s opening week is that it saw very little of the explosive anger or verbal jousting that many had imagined for a trial which has the future of the digital asset industry as its stakes.
After three days with Dr. Craig Wright on the stand in the U.K. courtroom, COPA’s attorney Jonathan Hough KC has repeatedly accuses Dr. Wright of manipulating documents he says proves his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
