Day 21
More going over the summary arguments yesterday. One of my personal highlights was COPA's Hough commenting something along the lines of not to commit degree snobbery, but Craig's qualifications were of mediocre grade, from unprestigious universities, and his PHD thesis has been found to have included plagiarised content. Burn
. Bringing up Craig's blank expression during the unsigned integers debacle was also enjoyable: https://twitter.com/digitalnaut/status/1767830627615715382
Craig's council also took the stand to make their closing arguments, but the best they had was why hasn't the real Satoshi made an appearance to shoot Craig's accusations down. I mean, what sort of bullshit is that. They really don't have much here apart from Craig is smart and has patents and there's currently no better candidate blah blah blah. If Craig doesn't end up with perjury charges this trail will have been a waste. Craig's council has been pleading today that even if Craig loses it will be against his human rights to be prohibited from claiming to be Satoshi. Personally I hope he his barred from doing so and maybe his human rights case should be left up to a higher court.
Netflix should seriously consider making a documentary about CW and his trial. I mean the comedy just writes itself and there is so much of it! Docu-comedy?
I don't think a show based purely on this trial would be very entertaining, but I do think a film or maybe documentary about the whole Faketoshi saga would be. Maybe we need some sort of conclusion here though to make for a good ending. Andrew O’Hagan's The Satoshi Affair where Craig fled Australia was particularly thrilling reading for me and would certainly make a great part in a film or documentary: https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v38/n13/andrew-o-hagan/the-satoshi-affair
