Bitmessage peer-to-peer messenger developer Jonathan Warren testified against Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright, confirming that the documents provided by the latter were probably forged.
According to court documents released on August 13, Warren acted as an expert in the Wright trial with the family of his former partner Dave Clayman, who passed away a few years ago.
In his defense, Wright provided details of the correspondence from the Bitmessage messenger, which describes the process of creating a centrally located trust, which, according to the prosecution, may hold $10 billion in bitcoins in its accounts.
Warren confirmed his role in the development of Bitmessage in Florida's Southern District Court and pointed to the chronological discrepancy between the date of the messenger and the documents provided by Wright.
In particular, Wright is suspected of falsifying certain contracts, e-mails and messages to Bitmessage. Warren claims that a number of evidence relating to the period up to 19 November 2012 is likely to have been falsified.
"This tells me that something was forged. Either the date was falsified or the screenshot was falsified. The fact is that Bitmessage did not exist in October 2012," Warren said.
According to lawyer Stephen Pally, Wright had previously also provided the court with a number of fabricated documents. According to Pally, these documents, as well as the above-mentioned correspondence, contain a number of chronological inconsistencies.
