The trial in which Craig Wright was questioned ended on Wednesday, and the trial is in its second week. The Crypto Patent Open Alliance (COPA) and a group of Bitcoin developers who have opposed Wright have repeatedly accused him of lying about his claims, and COPA is taking Wright to court to determine whether he is really the founder of Bitcoin. During Wednesday's trial, Wright said that for him, the trial is about "justice." COPA's attorneys and another plaintiff, a group of Bitcoin developers, cross-examined Wright about encryption keys, expectations of damages, validation statements, and the self-proclaimed decision to lock up Bitcoin funds and information in a trust. COPA's attorneys and the developers Wright faced repeatedly asserted during the trial that Wright was either "wrong" or that his testimony was a "lie". On Thursday, Wright's witnesses will begin testifying, starting with Ignatius Pang, who has known Wright since 2007 and who, according to court documents, can recall conversations around 2008 in which Wright mentioned blockchain. In addition, Robert Jenkins and Shoaib Yousef will also testify on Wright's behalf.
