Craig Wright Witnesses Face Questions About Their Memories in COPA Trial
Summary
The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) is questioning the validity of Craig Wright's claim that he is Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Three witnesses testified in support of Wright, including Ignatius Pang, who recalled Wright asking him to build a LEGO blockchain in 2008. Robert Jenkins testified about conversations with Wright related to bitcoin and blockchains around 2009 or 2010, while Shoaib Yousef said he discussed digital currency with Wright in the late 2000s. COPA attorneys questioned the reliability of these memories, suggesting that the witnesses may be confusing dates and details. The trial began in early February and is set to continue with three more witnesses.
