Following a protracted legal battle, a U.K. court has methodically broken down Craig Wright’s mountain of fabricated evidence and assertions regarding his true identity.
After years of legal battles and sensational claims, Australian computer scientist Craig Wright’s claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, has been comprehensively dismantled by a ruling from Judge James Mellor in the High Court of Justice of the United Kingdom.
The detailed ruling came in relation to a case brought against Wright by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a coalition of prominent companies seeking to prevent Wright from asserting ownership over Bitcoin’s core intellectual property.
COPA alleged that Wright had engaged in an elaborate scheme of forgery and deceit to fabricate evidence backing his claim of being Nakamoto.
