when the case wins in favour of COPA (no if).. id hope contempt is least of CSW troubles. id hope the copa win would then be used as evidence of forgery, fraud and multiple other crimes and someone files criminal claims against him. rather then these silly civil claims of annoyances
Well, if the judge finds him in contempt then do they not recommend another trial for that which could pose prison time? You can't lie under oath and perjure yourself and that's all Craig has been doing. My only worry is if they feel it's not in the public interest to do so or maybe give Craig enough benefit of the doubt that there could have been malicious actors planting evidence. Maybe he would have to prove that in the perjury trial.
contempt alone is a minor crime which usually is just a small fine like £100-£5k or a few days in jail...
however forgery, which affects millions of people of millions of $value can be a life sentance (note FTX)
told ya he would.
the thing about courts is, if you (or your lawyer) are filing a claim they have to check what they file, and sign it in.. much like checking your bag before going to airport, because if the court/airport find things when they search what you hand in, you are on the hook. you cant then later cry 'but someone i dont trust done it for me', sorry but you are still on the hook for what has been handed over in your name
Well yeah, but I guess he doesn't really have much choice but to lie. The fact that he claims unscrupulous enemies hacked into his computers to plant this forged and manipulated evidence in the possibility that Craig might not notice and then use it in evidence in court is beyond ridiculous. I'm really hoping the judge doesn't even consider that as an option and takes it for the bare-faced lie that it obviously is but I don't know how the courts proceed with this.
even claiming someone broke into your house unzipped your suitcase and planted faked/stolen art in it after you packed your bags, doesnt play well when standing at a airport check-in desk.
investigations should start about a forgery, fraud case even if you claim you are not the forger. its your responsibility of your handling of the checked in items. so its not a case that things should just be passed off as whimsy, accident. it should be pursued
Craig was shown a video of him literally trying to forge the whitepaper in latex changing it bit by bit to try match the true and original whitepaper. Craig claimed he was just doing a "demonstration" to some unnamed party. You can view the compiled animation from his log edits here:
https://twitter.com/BitMEXResearch/status/1761038309554332034afterall why would you record yourself performing forgery unless you want to package it up as part of a portfolio of 'art' to be part of some media deal later on.
Oh, no. Maybe I didn't explain it perfectly well. It wasn't an actual video of him that he personally recorded, but if I understand correctly, these edits were found in the metadata of the editing program he used that recorded his each and every change and Craig was obviously unaware of (it might have been latex). COPA then pieced the metadata edits together to make a video so they could show it to the court of what Craig was actually doing. Craig then claimed the edits were for a presentation as if he was showing someone how to do it or something (more BS).
yes it was the "Craig then claimed the edits were for a presentation" where i thought the latex video was the presentation.. given the fact that CSW has before kept hold of different materials that show things he does that go against his 'i am satoshi' diatribe, and being more useful for background material of a future villain story
i know he is not smart enough to realise these civil cases can turn criminal. but thinks whilst only civil he is free to do as he pleases without personal repurcussions because its not his money that covers his legal games.. but i do hope someone uses these civil cases as evidence to get some criminal charges filed
Oh he knows. He's mentioned in both this court and others about how you can't lie in court otherwise it's perjury and that has consequences such as jailtime and seems to use that to back up his claims that he wouldn't possibly dare lie in court. He even doubled down yesterday and said that even worse is lying to god haha.
hmm now playing as a christian.. i think that will work against him if the judge is religious and see's him abusing religion to lie
also people with autism or aspergers can and do lie. the fun fact is depending on the scale. they can either not lie
successfully because the lie sounds too dumb to be true or they are void of such emotion(poker face) they can get away with lying
i feel he just googled "can autistic's lie" and read "autistic's cannot lie successfully" and forgot/ignored the "successfully" end of the sentence
also, he is not vulcan
The charisma of Craig is his primary strength.
LOL. Well in that case he is completely fucked.
I can't think of a more disgusting, detestable, deplorable human in the crypto scene, and the bar is very, very low.
Neither BitBoy, Richard Heart, nor Do Kwon hold a candle to what level of douchebag Craig is.
If he is charismatic, it is in the way cult leaders are charismatic: they appeal primarily to the lost, the dumb, and the soul-lessly greedy. Everyone else with a competent or moral mind can see them for who they truly are.
I don't think he is charismatic, he just has sociopathic confidence and rarely gets rattled which is quite an impressive feat. Can you imagine sitting in court with your entire existence based upon lie after life and you have to think of more lies on the fly to cover up those lies and knowing all this behaviour could end up with you in prison.
"sociopathic confidence" yep thats the word
as for the "rarely gets rattled"
he gets rattled alot actually.. even in the BBC interview about the signing session noted many rattles
and in the court this last couple weeks
however as my theory goes because he has a back-up agenda should he lose (media deals of villain story) he has less concern over a loss, where he thinks he can spin it into a money making scheme. thus less pressure in parts
i just dont think he understands the legal ramifications that could hit him once found guilty civilly as a fraud/forger. as it can and should then go to criminal court.. i think he was told by a solicitor/lawyer that civil court doesnt lead to prison.. but didnt tell him evidence found in civil can then lead to separate criminal case.. so he is day dreaming that he can do civil SLAPP cases forever, unpunished, via his investors footing the bill of lost cases.. not realising those SLAPPS can be brought against him later criminally.. and i hope he learns that lesson after march, but even more hopeful, not long after march.. like the same day of judgement
No, I can't imagine it. Clearly he's no dummy,
clearly he is a dummy
there is a major difference between a actor playing a role, using confidence to play the part.. even dumb actors can sound like specialist doctors on a medical tv show, if they read the right script and take producers direction
note the "signing session".. he was taking direction from his investors of what they want as proof of claims and wont payout unless he done what they wanted. EG notable bitcoiners as witness and media .. which shows he is taking direction rather than leading the direction, and he does it all for a payday and willing to keep the ruse alive as long as the money keeps rolling
there is a major difference earned knowledge and skill.. vs practiced street smarts of learning how to survive as a criminal
he lacks real knowledge about many things, (coding, law) but knows just enough street smarts to employ people to aid his antics
