The judge starts the day repeating the strict rules of the court livestream. That absolutely no images or video shall be recorded or shared by the stream participants. This is because BSV fans yesterday posted still images of me in the court room from the stream. I expect nothing less from the people supporting this cancer tbh 🤷‍♂️

Day 4 of COPA vs Wright. Rainy day in London, sauna as usual in the court room. Looking forward to another full day of Craig being confronted with his forgeries.

Craig now explains why his evidence was written on a paper notepad that wasn’t yet in production at the time the evidence is supposedly from. He seems to say he knows better than the witness from the actual producer of the paper notepad, when the paper notepad production started and where it was produced. Wild.

Craig is getting crucified on the stand. Forgery after forgery presented and he can do nothing but keep repeating that the expert witnesses, including his own, are incompetent. He has tried a couple of times to appeal to the judge with stuff like “you will understand m’lord as a learned engineer” when he attacks the experts. The judge only seems annoyed with it. Still 4.5 days left of cross examination. This is a train wreck playing out.

Day 3 of COPA vs Wright I'm present in court to watch, and will probably report a little here and there between the mouthfuls of popcorn. Craig looks rough.

Getting ready to watch day two of COPA vs Wright. On day 1, it came out that Craig had "found" a FOURTH tranche of evidence in the eleventh hour, after the three previous ones had been found to be forgeries, and now wanted to rely on those. Today, the witness statement of COPA lawyer Philip Nathan Sherrell was made public, and it shows that the latest batch of evidence is unsurprisingly of the same quality as the previous three. Most hilariously, Craig has submitted photos of a computer screen, supposedly sent to him by a mysterious lawyer "Mr Makaya". Unfortunately for Wright, the photos show (among many other things) a google chrome icon with what seems to be Craig's picture, showing him as logged in. Read the full witness statement here: https://bitcoindefense.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Twentieth-Witness-Statement-of-Phil-Nathan-Sherrell.pdf It really tells the story of how absurd this has gotten. I'm surprised the Judge allowed this latest batch of "evidence", and can only surmise it's to avoid any opening for an appeal.

I've been reluctant to use the Doctor title for Craig Wright, but with the sheer amount of his doctored evidence being unveiled by COPA, I'm about to change my mind. He earned it!

Trial well under way. COPA finished their initial presentation. I'm on my third bag of popcorn.

For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy. My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now. I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest. I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK. When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was. They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today. I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin. Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions. Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats. My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain. I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig." I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief. I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost. All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well. No mercy for these people. Only Welcome to Law.

The COPA vs Craig Wright trial begins tomorrow. Finally, after all these years, a UK judge will rule on whether or not Craig is Satoshi and whether or not he is a fraud. Quite absurd that it’s taken this long to legally establish something so glaringly obvious. Welcome to law.
