The post Craig Wright’s Ninja Tale Revealed In Trial Identifies Him As Bitcoin Creator appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist, claiming to be the inventor of Bitcoin, went through a tough week of questioning in the U.K. High Court. The court looked closely at his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious person behind Bitcoin. During this time, an unexpected story came from Wright’s sister, Danielle DeMorgan. She shared a peculiar memory of her brother in a ninja outfit, which she thinks proves he really did create Bitcoin.

Sister’s Testimony Links Craig Wright To Bitcoin’s Creation

The trial led by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) to figure out if Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is actually Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious person who created Bitcoin, has finished its second week. This week wrapped up in an unusual way.

Today, Wright’s sister, Danielle DeMorgan, shared her story on the stand about a blog post she wrote. In it, she mentioned how hearing the name Satoshi, which is Japanese, immediately made her think of Wright. She recalled a memory of seeing her brother dressed as a ninja in a park when he was 18 or 19 years old, a detail she believes helps prove he’s the creator of Bitcoin.

DeMorgan also mentioned a moment around 2007 or 2008 when she found Wright in a room surrounded by computers, working on a project he said was significant. This was right before the release of Bitcoin’s foundational white paper in late 2008.

On Friday, Mark Archbold, a witness for Wright, testified, recalling a 2005 conversation they had about digital currency. Archbold believed Wright was Satoshi Nakamoto due to the encryption software Wright developed in the 2000s. Patent attorney Cerian Jones also took the stand, discussing how Wright’s patents suggest he might be Bitcoin’s creator.

Challenges Rise For Wright In Satoshi Identity Trial

Jones mentioned that being linked to Wright could be seen as problematic, describing him as “a very divisive character” in response to a question from COPA’s lawyer, Jonathan Hough.

Wright’s first witnesses appeared in court on Thursday, with COPA’s legal team criticizing their recollections as vague and unreliable. Wright concluded his testimony on Wednesday, facing accusations from COPA’s lawyers of falsehoods and irrelevant claims.

The trial questioning Craig Wright’s claim to be Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, is set to resume next week. The schedule indicates that additional witnesses for Wright, including David Bridges and Max Lynam, will testify on Monday, with Stefan Matthews also presenting evidence. COPA, an alliance of leading Bitcoin supporters and companies, is challenging Wright in the British High Court of Justice.

Wright, linked to Bitcoin SV (BSV), frequently sues major Bitcoin figures, exploiting the UK’s plaintiff-friendly legal system. This crucial lawsuit from COPA seeks to stop him from claiming the Bitcoin whitepaper’s copyright, directly contesting his claim as the cryptocurrency’s creator.
