Judge James Mellor Rules Craig Wright is Not Satoshi Nakamoto, Exposes Extensive Lies in COPA Case
May 20, 2024, 12:07 PM
In a landmark ruling, British Judge James Mellor has declared that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The judgment, delivered in the COPA v. Craig Wright case, meticulously dissects Wright's extensive fabrications and forged documents. Judge Mellor's written judgment highlights Wright's repeated lies in both written and oral evidence, describing them as a severe abuse of court procedures. The 231-page judgment concludes that Wright's claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto were entirely fraudulent, marking a significant victory for the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA). The ruling also casts doubt on Wright's credibility in other jurisdictions, including Norway. According to BitMEX Research, the UK court found Wright, an Australian computer scientist, guilty of lying extensively and forging documents on a grand scale.
