[UK High Court approves global freezing order against Craig Wright] Golden Finance reported that the UK High Court has approved the issuance of a global freezing order (WFO) against Craig Wright, freezing an amount of 1.548 million pounds (about 1.98 million US dollars). The ruling stems from Peter McCormack's application, which believes that the necessity of WFO lies in the fact that the defamation allegations made by Wright are fraudulent in nature. Wright claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and requires McCormack to compensate for the alleged defamation. The court found that Wright's allegations were based on fraud and supported by forged documents, which raised concerns about the loss of assets. Although Wright raised objections, including opposition to the purpose of WFO and compliance with the commitment, Judge James Mellor ruled that WFO and related enforcement measures are essential to ensure that McCormack recovers legal fees. The judgment includes orders requiring the disclosure of assets and the execution of assets in jurisdictions such as Australia, Seychelles, Antigua and Singapore.
