"Mystery revealed! Craig Wright, the self-proclaimed inventor of Bitcoin, sentenced to jail by court ruling!"
Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, who has long claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, has been sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation for contempt of court. The ruling has once again put him at the center of controversy and intensified discussions about the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
The case was reportedly brought by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection of intellectual property rights in cryptographic technology. In May, Judge James Mellor ruled that Wright had "repeatedly lied and falsified documents," requiring him to publicly deny that he was Satoshi Nakamoto and give up his copyright claim to the Bitcoin white paper. However, Wright ignored the court order and went ahead with his lawsuit against the crypto developer in October, involving more than £900 billion. In the end, he was sentenced to probation for contempt of court.
Wright has been controversial since he first claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin in 2016. Despite a lack of solid evidence, his claims have never been concluded. In February this year, the British High Court called his statement a "shameless lie" and asked him to issue a disclaimer admitting that he was not Satoshi Nakamoto. However, the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto is still confusing, and a recent HBO documentary even proposed another speculation that Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd might be Satoshi Nakamoto.
This incident has undoubtedly intensified the debate about the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, and Wright's legal disputes are far from over. For the crypto world, who exactly is Satoshi Nakamoto may always be an unsolved mystery.
