Sept. 14, 2022 - Trial in Norway
2 hours and 47 minutes into the questioning, Craig Wright was questioned about an alleged Tulip Trust document.
Attorney: “So if you look at page 285 it says in the middle three paragraphs down from “I acknowledge… All Bitcoin will be returned to Dr Wright on January 1st 2020”. Is this what she’s talking about or…”
Wright: “No, it’s not, this was set up the day before, uhm, if you read it, it’s written terribly, uhm…”
Attorney: “Is this something you wrote the day before you set up the actual trust is that what you’re saying?”
Wright: “Uhm, before I started setting up the actual trust, yes, it took a little while because of corporate processes. When I wrote this I was totally drunk.”
Attorney: “So you have written this?”
Wright: “Yes, I was completely drunk, I drank three bottles of wine. I’d just been served with a bankruptcy notice.”
Attorney: “Okay, because it’s, it seems to be sort of sent from David Kleiman if you look at page 286
.”
[ 15 Looong seconds of awkward silence ]
Attorney: “As you’re saying that you wrote this when you were terribly drunk?”
