UK High Court Freezes £1.548M ($1.9M) of Craig Wright’s Assets in Defamation Dispute
Jul 5, 2024, 04:34 PM
The UK High Court has issued a Worldwide Freezing Order (WFO) against Craig Wright, requiring him to pay £1.548 million ($1.9 million) to cover Peter McCormack’s legal fees. The order, granted by Justice Mellor, aims to prevent Wright from moving assets to avoid paying the costs from a 2019 defamation case Wright filed against McCormack. The legal dispute stems from McCormack's public accusations that Wright falsely claimed to be Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The court action is part of the ongoing defamation fallout.
