Hodlnaut and Peter McCormack fight “faketoshi” Craig Wright in Court

I read the detailed notes.

Sounds like the defence absolutely pulled Craig apart. There’s no evidence of many of the lofty claims of conference invites, most of the organisers interviewed strongly denied they’d invited Craig and sent internal notes explaining that his papers had been rejected because of unusally bad quality and signs of plagerism.

And his main argument was withdrawn after it became clear that the conference he claims to have been un-invited from happened before Peter McCormack made his tweets about him, which is a pretty big own-goal.

And it sounds like Craig was deeply uncomfortable. Nervous, red-faced, distracted and quiet.

Sadly the law is still in his favour, Peter McCormack basically have to prove he didn’t harm Craig, and proving a negative is very difficult in court. Craig doesn’t have to prove he *was* harmed.

Still though, it doesn’t quite add up to me. Criag would appear to be geared to win by default, but he’s tripped himself up by submitting numerous false and impossible claims. He’s now looking like an absolute liar and a clown. I do wonder what his endgame here is.

If it’s just to strengthen his claims to being Satoshi, then submitting a case that’s mostly lies is a poor way of doing it…
