On 19 November 2023 at 18:23 Dr Wright created a new project, ‘Bitcoin’. Around one minute later he copied the content of the final version of the BitcoinSN.tex file from the Maths (OLD) folder into the main.tex file of the ‘Bitcoin’ project, i.e. the main document path of the so-called White Paper LaTeX Files {L21/14.1/44}.

Dr Wright spent several hours making changes to the main.tex file in the morning of 20 November 2023. He then held further demonstrations with Shoosmiths between 15:00-15:30 and 16:30-17:00 {Shoosmiths’ letter of 16 February 2024 {M/3/15} at [8.b-8.c]}. Only four inconsequential changes were made during those demonstrations; and then only in the latter session i.e. no changes are shown between 15:00-15:30 at {L21/14.1/238}-{L21/14.1/239}; four changes were made between 16:30-17-00 at {L21/14.1/244}-{L21/14.1/245}.

Dr Wright sent downloads from Overleaf to Shoosmiths (including various compilations) on 20 November 2023 at 15:54, 16:22 and 16:57. Those downloads and the associated compilations were not produced to COPA and the Developers until 16 February 2024 (after the conclusion of Dr Wright’s first cross-examination) {Shoosmiths’ letter of 16 February 2024 {M/3/15}}. The covering emails {{L20/252.86}, {L20/252.87} and {L20/252.88}} made no reference to Dr Wright having made any changes, or to him planning to do so.

Dr Wright continued to make changes to the main.tex file between 20 November and 24 November 2023. He then downloaded and sent the ‘Bitcoin’ folder to Shoosmiths at 17:20. The covering email again made no reference to any changes that Dr Wright might have made – and described main.tex as “the one Ppl know”{L20/252.89}.

Dr Wright then went on to make yet further changes to the main.tex file. His activity on main.tex is illustrated below and at {M1/2/103}.
