Craig Wright Exposed as Not Satoshi Nakamoto by UK Court Ruling

A UK High Court judge ruled that Craig Wright, who claimed to be the inventor of Bitcoin, is not Satoshi Nakamoto, ending years of legal battles and speculation.

  • UK High Court Judge James Mellor ruled that Craig Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper, nor did he create the Bitcoin system.
  • The ruling came after a trial brought by Bitcoin developers threatened with patent lawsuits by Wright, concluding a series of legal battles.
  • Wright's claims were supported by fraudulent evidence, leading to expectations of criminal charges for perjury.
  • The case highlighted the misuse of the UK's libel laws by Wright to sue critics, including Bitcoin podcaster Peter McCormack and pseudonymous Bitcoiner Hodlonaut.
  • The Bitcoin community, including Hodlonaut, celebrates the verdict, which vindicates years of defense against Wright's lawsuits.
