"As a general rule, when the Copyright Office receives an application for registration, the claimant certifies as to the truth of the statements made in the submitted materials. The Copyright Office does not investigate the truth of any statement made."
This can't be real

You don't know that's how it went down.
I am a junior lawyer and though I don't specialize in copyright, I can tell you there was likely some kind of further confirmation than just asking the man "are you really sure you're Satoshi?" especially since this case is very high profile.
You can easily get all correspondence relating to the case through a FOIA request. Somebody should do it.
>As a general rule
Which in legalese means, "for most routine cases." I don't think this was a routine case, do you?

Ryan Miller
>Ok then here's your copyright

more like this:
>mr wright can you confirm you lay claim to the copyrights of satoshi nakamoto full knowing you commit fraud if you are not actually him (not that we check)
>yes

Read the rest of it, you stupid fucking brainlet.
Literally 0 verification, it all relies on him to "confirm". That confirmation is "Yes".
That's all he did.
I do like how it says people submitting false claims could be subject to penalties..
