UK Judge Mellor Rules Craig Wright is Not Satoshi Nakamoto, Bans Further Lawsuits
May 20, 2024, 11:12 AM
A UK judge has ruled that Craig Wright, who has long claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, is not Satoshi. Judge James Mellor published a written judgment in the COPA vs. Craig Wright case, stating that Wright lied extensively and forged documents in his attempts to prove his claim. The judgment, which spans 231 pages, highlighted Wright's repeated and serious abuse of court procedures, describing his actions as a campaign of forgeries and lies. This ruling prevents Wright from bringing further lawsuits in the UK and has implications for other jurisdictions, including Norway. The decision is seen as a significant victory for the Bitcoin community and COPA, which stands for truth and justice.
