Craig Wright, who has repeatedly and falsely claimed to be Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto, was given a one-year suspended prison sentence in the UK for five counts of contempt of court. He was also fined £145,000 (approximately $180,000) for his actions. During a December 19 hearing, Judge James Mellor ruled that Wright had breached a court order by filing lawsuits against Bitcoin developers despite a prior order to cease all legal actions against them.
Wright’s defiance included initiating cases worth more than $1.2 trillion and repeating his discredited claim of being Nakamoto. His contempt was found “beyond reasonable doubt” by the court. In July, Wright acknowledged he wasn’t the creator of Bitcoin.
