多年來(lái)，賴特在聲稱擁有世界上第一個(gè)加密貨幣背后的知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)后，一直在騷擾和威脅比特幣開(kāi)發(fā)商和用戶，提起誹謗訴訟和禁言令。非營(yíng)利性加密貨幣開(kāi)放專利聯(lián)盟 (COPA) 在 2021 年提起訴訟時(shí)試圖關(guān)閉的正是這種“寒蟬效應(yīng)”——這是迄今為止最激進(jìn)的嘗試，旨在一勞永逸地解決賴特并非他所說(shuō)的那樣的問(wèn)題。

COPA 的首席律師喬納森·霍夫 (Jonathan Hough) 在開(kāi)庭陳詞中辯稱，自從賴特進(jìn)入公眾視野以來(lái)，過(guò)去八年里，他犯下了“工業(yè)規(guī)模”的欺詐行為。在周三結(jié)束的盤(pán)問(wèn)中，霍夫指責(zé) CSW 偽造或操縱與比特幣開(kāi)發(fā)相關(guān)的文件，并誤解了賴特?fù)?jù)稱構(gòu)建的系統(tǒng)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)。

也就是說(shuō)，原告有責(zé)任證明賴特是錯(cuò)誤的。賴特在法庭上被描述為（很大程度上）冷靜且善于表達(dá)，他無(wú)疑說(shuō)服了過(guò)去的人們（包括他的恩人、億萬(wàn)富翁在線賭博巨頭卡爾文·艾爾）。然而，對(duì)于許多旁觀者來(lái)說(shuō)，情況已經(jīng)擺在眼前：賴特出庭作證，只是讓自己名聲掃地。存在太多的不一致、太多的偶然事件和太多的誤導(dǎo)，令人難以置信。

審判預(yù)計(jì)將持續(xù)到三月中旬。目前，CoinDesk 已經(jīng)收集了該案件迄今為止一些最離奇、最愚蠢、最令人頭疼的時(shí)刻。

“賴特博士行為的異常特征”

The opening statement from Wright’s lawyers, given by Lord Anthony Grabiner, was almost an indictment in itself. Put in the tough position of explaining Wright’s reluctance to show how he can interact with any of the millions of Bitcoin linked to Satoshi (thus easily proving his right to the Satoshi mantle), Grabiner said it was down to “philosophical differences.” Apparently Wright’s “unusual” behavior of flip flopping on whether to sign a transaction, as he pledged to do in 2016, would conflict with Wright’s “core belief” in privacy. Putting aside that Wright lives a very public life, Wright has also criticized the pseudonymous aspects of crypto, saying it’s part of the reason Bitcoin has become a hotbed for crime.

Computer science 101

Wright, who claims to be working towards five PhDs, apparently does not know the very basics of coding. During a cross-examination by Alexander Gunning KC asking about PGP keys and cryptography, Wright was asked about “unsigned integers,” (used essentially to determine whether a string of data will have a + or – prefix), and wasn’t able to. Longtime crypto advocate Michael Parenti noted the unsigned integer function was used over 500 times in the original Bitcoin source code. What was meant to be a routine line of questioning to enter basic facts into the record about the Bitcoin source code may be the single moment remembered for years to come.

As @bitnorbert, who has been following the trial, said on X’:

“HE COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHAT AN UNSIGNED INTEGER IS.

“If you're not a programmer, perhaps you don't appreciate what a basic thing this is. An average first-semester computer science student should be able to explain this. The judge, with his computer science background, certainly can. This is like having someone who says they're a mathematician not being able to explain what multiplication is.”

Weird insecurities

Wright likes to make himself out to be a workaholic. At one point in the trial he said he has written three patents so far that week, during lunchtimes — on Feb. 13 alone he “wrote two papers.” Thankfully, he has given the courtroom a little insight into what drives him to work tirelessly.

“I keep being told by other people what I can and cannot do. I keep being told I am useless by others. This is one of the reasons I keep getting all these degrees,” he said on the last day of his cross-examination.

If you were thinking that Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in an attempt to better the world, think again. It turns out that he actually had a huge chip on his shoulder and an emptiness inside.

Why lie?

In 2020, Wright published a blog titled “As an Autistic Savant…” that made the case that he was telling the truth about inventing Bitcoin because he had Aspergers (a diagnosis that was retired from the Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 2013).

“說(shuō)謊不是我容易或擅長(zhǎng)做的事情，我的行為并不是欺騙的標(biāo)志，而是對(duì)自閉癥患者來(lái)說(shuō)很正常。我非常誠(chéng)實(shí)，但也非常精確，”他說(shuō)。

列出審判中提出的每一個(gè)不一致之處都太過(guò)分了——COPA 法律團(tuán)隊(duì)的主要策略是迫使賴特解釋法醫(yī)證據(jù)專家在電子郵件、文件中發(fā)現(xiàn)的數(shù)百種偽造和操縱跡象。以及提交為證據(jù)的計(jì)算機(jī)文件。

但僅舉兩個(gè)引人注目的例子，他的語(yǔ)言并不完全“精確”，賴特曾聲稱他沒(méi)有 Reddit 帳戶，也從未使用過(guò)這個(gè)流行的留言板網(wǎng)站。嗯，這是他的帳戶。

賴特還表示，他偽造了中本聰?shù)?PGP 密鑰，也許是錯(cuò)誤的。

主控機(jī)械手

與此相關(guān)的是，賴特否認(rèn)偽造或剽竊任何提交為證據(jù)的文件。他將所帶來(lái)的一些不一致之處歸咎于黑客攻擊、錯(cuò)誤的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接以及試圖將他“陷害”為騙子的人的大陰謀——比如顯示與比特幣創(chuàng)建有關(guān)的文檔是使用 Word 2015 制作的元數(shù)據(jù)。

周三，當(dāng)梅勒要求提供一份與早期比特幣文件相關(guān)且沒(méi)有被篡改跡象的單一文件時(shí)，賴特表示這些文件將不可用。另外，他辯稱，不可能是他操縱了這些文件，因?yàn)槿绻堑脑挘筒粫?huì)被抓住。
