Reflections on day 3. #WeAreAllHodlonaut

I'm exhausted after each court day, but today I'm something else as well: energised! I have to interpret this physical reaction as a growing optimism on Hodlonaut's behalf.
Hodlonaut came out really well in cross-interrogation. He maintained a calm demeanour, spoke clearly and articulately, kept a respectful tone. Wright's side had surprisingly weak arguments against him, nothing that made much of an impression.
Manshaus appeared uncomfortable at times. What has he gotten his prestigious firm into?
Wright was his usual disasterly self. One thing is his unstable demeanour, his wild tangents that have to be curtailed by lawyers for both sides and the judge alike. I expect the autism expert to cover for that later.
No, the real disaster is his completely unbelievable explanations for all the manipulated documents. The kicker came when the judge asked what is on everyone's mind: wouldn't it be simpler to just sign publicly, instead of all this?
Haukaas was at his top game today. He got Wright into several difficult situations during cross-examination. He appeared well-prepared and alert. More of this, thank you!
I meant cross-examination, of course. My brain is jelly.

Day 5 🧵

It's KPMG day, rise and shine! In 90 minutes, court will be back in session. #WeAreAllHodlonaut
We'll hear from four more of Wright's witnesses (yes, he brought like 10 of them in total, #WitnessesAreProof). There is Bridges, Sinclair, Yousuf (don't have their full names – do you?) and Max Lynam. This will take the first half of the day.
Second half is all for KPMG and their report where they found a number of manipulations among the filed document evidence. They are the foremost experts in digital forensics, so this should be fun! I expects lots of the usual sloppiness.

Reflections on day 4. #WeAreAllHodlonaut

Today's witnesses attracted a larger audience on both sides. I enjoyed seeing and meeting more bitcoiners, and still encourage more to show up!
The videos from Hodlonaut's side were old news to many, but they are a good selection of crazy and now the judge has seen them.
As expected, Hodlonaut's witnesses all did a great job. I thought Halseth would talk about Lightning, but instead he picked Sartre apart. Of course Wright would say yes it was fraud, but only to sabotage badman McGregor. Still shows Wright will use fraud as a tool.

Day 4 🧵

Good morning! Join for me for another fun day at the courthouse? We have 90 minutes to get there before court's back in session. #WeAreAllHodlonaut
Witness statements start today. We'll hear from Hodlonaut's witnesses for the first three sessions. Looking forward to this as they are all talented people.
Torbjørn Bull Jenssen is CEO of Arcane Crypto, a company with many offerings, but increasingly famous for the mining and trading related reports out of Arcane Research. Jenssen is also a media darling in all matters of cryptocurrency in Norway. A very talented speaker.

Day 3 🧵

Good morning, fellow Hodlonauts! #WeAreAllHodlonaut

Court will be in session in 90 minutes. Today is set aside for statements from each party – so we'll finally hear from them in person. Hodlonaut gets the first half of the day, Wright second.
As always, you'll want to also follow @SpecificMills and @kristiandoble, who are in audience with me.
A big screen TV is being rolled in. Perhaps there is some chance today that plaintiff will finally get to play the videos that have been put off since Monday?

Some reflections on day 2.

All the storytelling to support Craig being Satoshi has been done in several older cases and I'm personally a bit bored with them. There's nothing new, and the stories haven't worked before.
Attacking the KPMG report preemptively might have been a smart move (plaintiff has barely mentioned it yet). Personally I was not convinced by Manshaus' attempts at technical explanations for KPMG's findings. Some of them were nonsensical.
Unlike plaintiff yesterday, Manshaus is impressively skilled at finishing on time. Right at the minute at every break, and 8 seconds over time at the end of the day.
