Wright Team Questions Authenticity of Emails in Bitcoin Lawsuit, Expert Witness Faces Heat on Report Methodology
• Craig Wright's former lawyers at Ontier say emails shared by his wife Ramona Watts showing their correspondence are fake. The emails are now being analyzed by both legal teams.
• The emails were shared after Wright's team spent the day questioning digital forensics expert Patrick Madden, who argues Wright forged evidence he's Bitcoin's creator.
• Madden appeared flustered under cross-examination and downplayed some of his findings when questioned about his ability to definitively state certain documents were forged.
• Madden relied on COPA's legal team to help draft his report rather than an independent assistant, acknowledging he hasn't taken this approach in other cases.
• Madden's cross-examination lasted less than a day before Shoosmiths decided against questioning two more witnesses from COPA's side.
