I'm beyond tired of hearing this fake excuse from Craig Wright's supporters. I'm going to hold your hand and walk you through this and prove it––so that there is not a shred of doubt left.

The lie: The list containing the 145 addresses that were signed "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud" was not Craig's list of his genuine Bitcoin holdings (the "CSW Filed List"), but only on an earlier algorithm-derived list (the "Shadders List") of addresses he MIGHT own.

The truth: The 145 addresses that were signed "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud" do in fact appear on the CSW Filed List. This list was submitted to the court in Florida by Craig as a list of his Bitcoin holdings, and he confirmed the list's authenticity.

(Before we begin, if anyone needs a refresher on the signings, here's a short article) coindesk.com/policy/2020/05…

OK. Here is the CSW Filed List. Again, this list was submitted by Craig as an authentic list of his Bitcoin holdings. It was inadvertently filed by plaintiff and quickly redacted, but not before the unredated version was grabbed by the CourtListener site. web.archive.org/web/2020110103…

Here is the earlier Shadders List. It was created by Steve Shadders as a list of possible addresses owned by Craig, derived by a program. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

The Shadders List lists 27,973 addresses while the CSW Filed List lists 16,404 addresses. The entire CSW Filed list is contained within the Shadders List without exception. More on that later.

And here is the list of 145 addresses used to sign "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud."

The first thing a skeptic will want to do is cross reference the list of 145 signed addresses with the addresses in the CSW Filed List. If you do so, you will confirm the addresses all appear in that list. So we've established that.

But the skeptic will say "how do we know this CSW Filed List from CourtListener is the real CSW Filed List?" Well, here's how:

First, let's compare the ECF number of our List with the ECF number referenced in the Plaintiff's Emergency Motion to Seal (see link): It says it's 512-7. Is that the same number at the top of the CSW Filed List? Indeed it is.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Now, let's prove it so that there is no doubt whatever that it is the genuine CSW Filed List. Follow these steps to prove it for yourself.

Step one: Note page 21 of the Expert Report for plaintiff by Andreas Antonopoulos in which he examines the lists submitted by Craig, where Andreas notes a SHA256 sum of the CSW Filed list. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Step two: obtain a CSV file of the CSW Filed List. Here is a download link (combine the two sections, copy and paste to URL)
1. ht
2. tps://cswarchive.info/sites/default/files/2021-08/csw_filed.csv

(h/t @Zectro1)

Step three: Use this site to check the SHA256 sum of the file you just downloaded emn178.github.io/online-tools/s…

Step four: compare that sum with the sum from Andrea's report: dc29d38e1276c22c4857824e4c5177b0872b32698c3d2f9232d9a1866ec40d91
Does it match? Indeed it does.

Voilà, you just verified the authenticity of the CSW Filed List.

So what did we prove? We proved that 1. the CSW Filed List found on CourtListener is the exact same list that Craig submitted, down to the last bit, and 2. that this list contains the same 145 addresses that were used to sign "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud."

But now the skeptic will say "Oh ho, not so fast! You've established that this is the genuine List and that it was falsified by the unknown signer, but we don't know where this list came from. How do we know it's really a list of what Craig says are his Bitcoin holdings?"

First we'll note that when Craig submitted the CSW Filed List, it was presented as "a list of his Bitcoin holdings". Not, "a list of maybe's" or "some list I randomly found in my inbox today".
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

But the real proof comes in this signed statement from Craig, where he describes how he says he obtained the List. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

And here it is. "The receipt of these documents and my inspection of them allowed me to recognize the authenticity of the other documents, including the list of public addresses."

And there you have it. We have proven, inescapably, that Craig Wright submitted the CSW Filed List––the same list available on CourtListener––and swore to its authenticity. And we've proven that it contained the addresses used to sign "Craig Steven Wright is a liar and a fraud."

p.s. All of this info has been out there, easily accessible, and was roundly discussed last year. None of it originated with me. This was only a summary
h/t @btckershi and @Zectro1

p.p.s. On the Shadders List. As noted the "Shadders List" was produced by Steve Shadders using software he wrote in an attempt to create a list of possible addresses that might be owned by Craig Wright, according to criteria set by Craig.

As described by Andreas Antonopoulos in his Expert report for plaintiffs in the Kleiman v Wright case, the program used to create the Shadders List contained a bug that misapplied the criteria and produced a set of erroneous entries. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

The same set of erroneous entries are present in the CSW Filed List, which tells us that the CSW Filed List, which is wholly contained in the Shadders List, is either derived from the Shadders List or created using the same faulty program made by Steve Shadders.

Either way, it proves Craig lied about the provenance of the CSW Filed List. It was not held by his lawyer for years and only delivered upon request after certain conditions were met...

...,it was created ad hoc by Craig and Shadders in an attempt to fulfill a court order to produce a list of what Craig purported to be his Bitcoin holdings after all his attempts to put it off had finally failed and he had run out of excuses.
