Craig Wright, who claimed to be the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, lied to the court, and his claims were rejected by the court after a thorough investigation.
Deception Revealed
Perjury Charge
London High Court Judge James Mellor ruled that Computer scientist Craig Wright has repeatedly and extensively lied to the court while claiming to be the inventor of Bitcoin. In a 231-page ruling, the judge detailed how Wright presented falsified evidence and resorted to "technobabble" in an attempt to convince the court of his unfounded claim to be the author of the original cryptocurrency.
Controversy over the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto
The true identity of the mysterious Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto has long remained a mystery an unsolved mystery. Satoshi is believed to own a whopping amount of Bitcoin of around 1.1 million BTC, which is equivalent to approximately $77 billion at current prices. Craig Wright's name was linked to Nakamoto's pseudonym after being featured in prominent publications such as Gizmodo and Wired in 2015.
Many years of futile attempts to prove authorship
Over the following years, Wright made persistent attempts to prove his involvement in the creation of Bitcoin. He claimed to have written the original Bitcoin white paper, challenged developers of cryptocurrency projects, and filed libel suits against those who accused him of lying. However, legal proceedings initiated by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) led to the final refutation of his claims.

This debate about Satoshi's personality is pure nonsense 🙄 Who cares who created him? The main thing is that the system works and we can take advantage of it.

This decision hit Wright’s reputation very hard 😕 It seems to me that after this it will be extremely difficult for him to restore trust in the crypto community. It's not easy to convince people when you've been caught lying at that level.
