Court Examines LaTeX Source Files in Craig Wright’s Claim to Bitcoin White Paper

3. The LATEX files: Main.tex and E-Cash-main.tex

(i) Dr Wright’s main LaTeX file “main.tex”, “Candidate L” {H/340/1}

56. This file is a LaTeX source file, taken from a folder on Dr Wright’s Overleaf account. Dr Wright has stated that, as Satoshi Nakamoto, he wrote the Bitcoin White Paper using LaTeX. He has also stated that this document “uniquely codes for the Bitcoin White Paper”, and that when compiled in Overleaf, produce a copy of the Bitcoin White Paper “in the same form as” and “materially identical to” that published by Satoshi Nakamoto. [Wright 6 E/21/3; Field 1 [27] P3/13/10]

57. Among all his LaTeX files, Dr Wright has nominated this file in particular as the source file that he relies on to compile the Bitcoin White Paper itself (Shoosmiths’ fourth letter of 4 January 2024 M/2/802). This file is Candidate L in Mr Rosendahl’s report.
