2023.Nov.04 — COPA entered Particulars of their claim and pointed out on page 29, point ID_000073, Statistics Assessment homework, that Craig had altered a sentence in a written work for Northumbria University on 17th September 2005 that, “contains hidden embedded content indicating that the content was copied directly from the Bitcoin White Paper”. The Bitcoin White Paper was released on 31st October 2008. COPA claims that the new sentence in the work submitted on 28th October 2005 is, “a genuine document”, & happens to “contains language similar to that found in the Bitcoin White Paper.”
This insinuates that Dr Craig Wright travelled forward in time from 17th September 2005 to copy works written by the pseudonym ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ on 31st October 2008, & then travelled back in time to 28th October 2005 in order to plagiarise Satoshi Nakamoto in his work for Northumbria University.
The simple explanation is that Dr Craig Wright was creating works back in 2005 in preparation for releasing & publishing the Bitcoin White Paper publicly 31st October 2008.
