Not about COPA, but known scammer CSW doesn't deserve another thread about him, so I'll just add this in here.
Here is the ruling for the case between Peter McCormack and CSW:
https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Wright-v-McCormack-Judgment.pdfThe case is CSW suing McCormarck for libel after McCormack repeatedly tweeted that CSW is not Satoshi. (Because we all know that suing people who say things you don't like is
exactly the kind of thing we would expect the real Satoshi to do
).
Turns out CSW lies. Like,
a lot.
In any event, there is no doubt at all about what Dr Wright was saying in para. 41 of his first witness statement and he now accepts that this was incorrect.
Dr Wright now accepts that his evidence (though not his pleading) was wrong, but says that this was inadvertent.
It is striking that, with the assistance of his very well-resourced lawyers, he has been unable to locate any documentary evidence to support his account that invitations were made and then rescinded
There was no documentary evidence of this. In any event, it is not what he had said in his Re-Amended Particulars of Claim or evidence and, if true, is contrary to the case originally advanced
Dr Nguyens evidence strongly suggests the falsity of Dr Wrights new case that he had received an informal invitation from her.
Again, however, this is flatly inconsistent with his original case.
I'll stop quoting at that point because it goes on and on for several more pages documenting all his lies. The judge summarizes with these two paragraphs though:
I therefore conclude that Dr Wrights original case on serious harm, and the evidence supporting it, both of which were maintained until days before trial, were deliberately false.
Had it not been for Dr Wrights deliberately false case as to serious harm, a more than minimal award of damages would have been appropriate, though the quantum would have been reduced to reflect the fact that Mr McCormack was goaded into making the statements he did and, having found Dr Wright not to be a witness of truth, I would have rejected in its entirety his case as to the distress he claims to have suffered.
So another waste of everybody's time and money to reach the conclusion that we've all known for years: CSW is full of shit.
