#KleimanvWright day 5 recap

1. Rivero Finished cross-examining Ira Kleiman and afterward, the plaintiffs did a redirect for Kleiman and 2 video depositions were played by the plaintiffs after that.

Here's the Jist of it.

Rivero is emphasizing that Dave and Craig only had one email correspondence about Bitcoin between March 2008 and October 2008 and on top of that, Wright and Kleiman partnered down the road for a different business venture.

when they partnered, they did not mention any existing

2. Partnership or Bitcoin Partnership. So both Kleiman and Wright clearly know how to establish a legal business partnership and document it, yet, they never did this in relation to bitcoin.

Afterward, Plaintiffs Lawyer Andrew Brenner did a redirect. He emphasized that this...

3. Bitcoin partnership did not exist because evidence has shown that there is a level of secrecy to Craig's email correspondences when Bitcoin is the subject at hand.

the following 2 video depositions were meant to cast doubt on Craigs character, Business ethics, and credibility

4. Pieces of evidence were introduced to court where individuals claimed that Craig fabricated dates and forged signatures.

deposition one was with Jonathan Warren, the creator of Bitmessage (BM) who claimed he created BM in November 2012, yet, there is evidence that shows ...

5. Wright and Kleiman using BM in October 2012. Warren explained how they may have fabricated this.
However, in the cross-examination it was revealed that Bitmessage was published on the dark web before November 2012, and that Warren had spoken to Dr. Wright prior to its release

6.which could explain why Wright was using it before the official release date.

And the final deposition of the day was Deborah Kobza, the founder of GISCR, a company that Craig was hired to Consult for.

Deborah was shocked when she saw evidence that Dr. Wright filed for a...

7.a $28 million license on behalf of GISCR, Kobza, the founder, was unaware of this and did not authorize this. Kobza believes Dr. Wright forged her signature to accomplish this.

Conclusion (1/2)

The cornerstone of today was that the Plaintiffs are trying to cast doubt on Dr. Wright's character, ethics, and business affairs, the Kobza deposition supports this while the Ira redirect emphasizes the element of secrecy he acted with in regard to bitcoin.

Conclusion 2/2

It is too early to tell where these arguments are leading, if they will hold value in the future, or if they will be nullified by a strong cross-examination or redirect.

Dr. Wright is expected to take the stand on
Monday so we might get some answers 👀
