PANews reported on July 17 that Craig Wright, known as "Australian Satoshi", officially issued a statement admitting that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, nor the author and copyright owner of the Bitcoin white paper. According to previous news, Craig Wright was handed over to British prosecutors by a London High Court judge for suspected perjury. Judge James Mellor pointed out in his ruling that Wright made extensive and repeated false statements to support his false claims, and decided to submit the case to the British Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider whether to charge him with perjury.
