Granath v Wright Day 6: Closing Arguments Begin
We enter the second week of a trial to determine whether Magnus "Hodlonaut" Grath, a social media influencer in the crypto community, made tweets against Dr. Craig Wright that were deemed as lawful. Wright, a co-founder of Bitcoin, believes Grath's social media campaign against him was slanderous. Wright is autistic.
Norway, which ranks as the second-wealthiest country in the world in monetary value, does not consider slander alone reason to have an individual held liable for their actions provided said actions were lawful.
Grath has claimed Wright is a fraud.
On Friday, a doctor who provided expert testimony in regard to Wright's autism in a prior trial commented on the Bitcoin co-founder's background, saying that he has a history of being called many names dating back to his school years where he was bullied and tortured.
“I would say that if somebody did the same now, it would probably trigger the same feelings and experiences he had as a child and in adolescence", Dr. Ami Klin said of the social media attacks.
Grath's attorneys began their closing arguments on Monday claiming that Wright is using the legal system as a means to further cement his claim as Bitcoin's inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Granath’s attorneys will continue delivering their closing arguments on Wednesday, and that should conclude the trial. A scheduling conflict will result in no trial on Tuesday.
