In a courtroom saga filled with twists, the COPA v. Craig Wright trial entered its sixth day with a dramatic revelation. Craig Wright, facing the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) seeking to restrain him from claiming Bitcoin's original code, brought forth a surprising turn of events. Wright's wife reportedly discovered a box of old papers over the weekend, which he intends to introduce as last-minute evidence.

Legal experts speculate that the judge might reject the belated submission, but it could potentially serve as a narrative for Wright in the media. During Monday's proceedings, Wright diverted into familiar territories, accusing Bitcoin developer Craig Maxwell of hacking his servers years ago. He also targeted Adam Back, alleging regulatory violations related to financial services. Wright claimed that Back failed to submit crucial emails from 2009, impacting Bitcoin's early narrative.

Despite the physical ease, Monday's developments added further layers of complexity to an already intricate legal battle. As Wright's testimony continues, the authenticity and admissibility of the newfound box of papers will likely be scrutinized. The trial's trajectory remains uncertain, with potential implications for the broader crypto community.
