Craig Wright told a Norwegian court he “stomped on the hard drive” containing Satoshi’s keys, making it “incredibly difficult” to cryptographically prove he is the creator of Bitcoin. cheyenneligon reports
In Norway, however, Wright is no longer attempting to convince the court he is Satoshi with cryptographic evidence – partly because he claims to have intentionally destroyed his only proof shortly after attempting suicide in May 2016, following his signing session with Andresen, and partly because he now claims cryptographic proof is inconclusive and that “identity is not related to keys.
“They were stolen,” Wright said. “I’m taking action to have the thieves not benefit; thieves should not benefit from stolen property.” ,” in which Wright attempted to publicly “prove” he was Satoshi – that he didn’t actually want to prove anything and so bungled it on purpose.“I have never changed any documents or manipulated any documents,” Wright said, when Manshaus asked him directly if the accusations had any truth. “No, I have never, ever in my life instructed a third party to manipulate or change documents.”
“Jack Dorsey is one of the funders of…Digital Currency Group, Jack Dorsey saw what was happening [on Twitter]...and closed down my account.” Wright added . A DCG official did not immediately return a request for comment or confirmation of the claim that Dorsey funds it in any way. At the end of Wright’s testimony, he complimented the judge on the style of Norwegian legal proceedings.
