I think the fact that bitcoincore.org removed the whitepaper is already a huge win for him, some people would view it as a proof that he might be Satoshi and CWS himself would probably try to use it as such in the future.

I didn't realize Bitcoincore.org removed it -- that was fast. It's rather sad to see Core developers immediately giving in to this sort of bullying. Undecided

I understand the practical argument that the whitepaper doesn't need to be hosted there, and that a legal case would just be a financial burden and distraction for the Core developers. Still, it's sad to see and it does give Wright a way to declare victory.

Wright is going after Square now, which probably isn't very smart. Unlike Core, Jack Dorsey might be willing to litigate.

Ah FFS, WTF

just getting this news now of CSW, unbelievable.
My first reaction to bitcoincore buckling was astonishment but I get the argument
that it is just a distraction from their "core" business and wouldnt need the litigious grief pursuing
continued hosting of the whitepaper.

It looks like CSW is going big in 2021
