Each of the anachronisms identified above relate to documents that have been identified as manipulated or unreliable by Mr Madden and Dr Placks on grounds unrelated to the substance of their content. The anachronistic content corroborated those conclusions but, as the Developers submitted, also pointed to two more important conclusions.

The first is that the forgery of these documents must have been by Dr Wright himself. The reason for that is that on Dr Wright’s own account some of the anachronistic content to which these documents refer was known only to himself as a result of his supposed personal development of Bitcoin and was written by him: (emphasis added)

“142: 5 Q. Now, my learned friend Mr Hough has been through

6 the documents with you and made the point that

7 the metadata of those documents is inauthentic, or that

8 it's forged. But it's not just the metadata that's

9 inauthentic, is it, it's the content as well?

10 A. The metadata on that is not forged.

11 Q. You wrote this content, didn't you?

12 A. Of course I wrote this content. This content was

13 created by me, but not like you're saying. It was

14 created by me in -- like, over 15 years ago.

15 Q. Dr Wright, you forged these documents, didn't you?

16 A. I did not. Again, what you're saying is that other

17 terminology which I've used in multiple other things

18 must have been shared with people. I create -- I've got

19 several thousand documents, as in ones that are

20 patented, and I have not discussed any of those

21 terminologies outside of corporations where people have

22 NDAs.

23 Q. So nobody else could have forged these documents?

24 A. They're not forged.”

The second is that each of these documents was separately considered by Dr Wright and included in his list of Reliance Documents. The person(s) who was Satoshi Nakamoto would not have made the mistake of relying on documents that contained anachronistic content to support their claim to that identity.
