Two C++ source code documents claimed to be early Bitcoin models by Dr. Wright are alleged to be forgeries. COPA's analysis points to the use of libraries not available until 2011 and document manipulation, suggesting the documents were backdated to support Dr. Wright’s claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto.

A document dated December 2008, purported to be a precursor to the Bitcoin White Paper, is alleged to be forged. Evidence indicates it is an altered version of a 2017 paper by Dr. Wright, with embedded timestamps and references inconsistent with the claimed date. COPA asserts that Dr. Wright backdated and tampered with the document to support his claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto.
