It happened. A tiny but fundamental change in Craig's mannerism. A realization about how toast he is. He knows it now. I sense it. He gave up. He continues answering, but his heart is no longer in it.

His strategy seems two-fold:
1. Spam the court with documents, encumbering forensics experts
2. Spam his own verbal testimony with unrelated technobabble intended to misdirect from questions asked

He also threatened to 51% attack the BCH network if any crypto exchange tries to transact on it.

I'm not saying Craig is Satoshi, but at some point all the "coincidences" are starting to add up

Since you control BSV, maybe you should consider changing its name? I'm sure you wouldn't want to mislead anyone into thinking it has something to do with Satoshi Nakamoto. 🙂

Remember when

marketed a "simulated" quantum computer he had invented that could mine tons of BTC at near zero cost
That's like claiming you can play RDR2 on a C64 with a cool magic trick if you give me money
Failed to attract investors so he created ETH instead
Remember the Blocksize Wars? The biggest miners, exchanges and influencers teamed up in the New York Agreement meeting and told all Bitcoin users what software they should run.
They lost. Decentralization won.

I feel sorry for Ramona. Seems like she has been genuinely fooled. Before anyone ridicules her, let's remember it's way more difficult to see fraud when it's a loved one.
Also it should be clear Mr. Ager-Hansen didn't hack Craig. The hard drive image was given voluntarily.
I've worked as a chef in multiple Michelin restaurants, have a doctorate in meatballs and actually invented Beef Wellington, which paid for my university.
Dear
#BSV
enjoyers. Remember that Craig strongly empathized his hard drive images haven't been touched since 2007. Thus they would contain powerful evidence.
Don't fall for the "Yes I manipulated the files in 2023 for demonstration" retcon.
He forged them. He backdated them.

Bitcoin *did* upgrade with larger blocks. The result was that everyone just dumped/ignored upgraded version, preferring to remain on the original version.

Not only was he not declared Satoshi, he was declared NOT to be Satoshi. There's a difference.
There exists only 1 blockchain that works if you use the original code written by Satoshi. That's the real Bitcoin.

@infinibunny
During my most degen days I posted on the Bitcointalk forums shill posts of some shitcoins. I am very much ashamed. I did not know any better. I could just as well bury this past, but maybe someone can learn from my fuckups.
All the coins I shilled went to 0 of course.

Also Martti is from Finland perkele 💪🇫🇮
As it looks, Adam Back & Martti Malmi will be cross examined tomorrow.

Martti Malmi: "Yes. We are all Satoshi, except Wright."

He didn't force anyone into investing in BSV.
Instead he ensared people into doing so by claiming it is something it's not, and that he is someone he isn't.

@mohrt
I'm sure the timing is a coincidence, and Calvin is just going on a trip somewhere with no internet connection. 🙂 That's why he said goodbye to the BSV ecosystem. 🙂
@Streaming_Sats
So many people who have worked closely with Craig and Calvin have said they are fraudulent.
Something is clearly going on.
Maybe they are being paid off by powerful people who are willing to spend millions to keep BSV out of mainstream instead of just investing it, which would
Dr. Wright's main strategy appears to rely on flooding the court with a barrage of documents after the other, overloading forensics experts.
His latest filing includes a screenshot proving he used advanced AI tools to create Bitcoin way back in 2007.

at what point on this chart did you start investing in BSV? Was it when it was down only -40%? or -80% or 95% ?
