The mystery of the century has not been solved! British court ruled that TA stole the identity of "Satoshi Nakamoto" and the key private key of the Genesis Block remained intact
#中本聪之案 The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of Bitcoin, and the private key of the Genesis Block he holds have not been revealed to this day. Craig Wright has claimed for many years that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, but the British High Court ruled that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, accusing him of lying to the court many times and even forging documents on a large scale.
James Mellor, a judge in the British High Court, said: "Wright claims to be an extremely smart person. However, in my opinion, he is not as smart as he thinks he is. Whether in his written evidence or oral evidence under cross-examination, I am fully convinced that Dr. Wright lied to the court extensively and repeatedly."
Most of his lies are related to the documents he forged, which are intended to support his claims. All of his lies and forged documents were to support his biggest lie, his claim that he is Satoshi Nakamoto,” Mailer continued.
Since Wright began making his “Satoshi Nakamoto” statements in 2015, long-term Bitcoin supporters didn’t think much of him, but the mainstream media quickly gave him the hot platform he needed to bully and damage people, companies, and the image of Bitcoin.
However, thanks to the court’s decision, the crypto industry can stick to the narrative that Bitcoin is “flawless” without having to doubt Wright’s statements.
This is partly thanks to Gizmodo, Wired, BBC, Financial Times, The Economist, GQ and other publications. Too many media outlets don’t simply look at the facts, including the fact that crypto data is easily verifiable.
Even as of 2019, some media outlets still haven’t received the memo about Wright. When Wright filed a U.S. copyright claim for the Bitcoin white paper in April 2019, the Financial Times quoted Wright’s spokesperson as saying it was “the first time a government agency has acknowledged that Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin.”
In addition to media coverage, Wright also deceived Gavin Anderson (Gavin Anderson) Andresen, to whom he entrusted the Bitcoin source code when Satoshi Nakamoto stopped contributing and moved on to other things.Amid the chaos caused by Wright, Bitcoin developers revoked Anderson's commit privileges, citing a "chaotic environment."
This was a big deal for the Bitcoin industry at the time, as Wright emerged at a time of great unrest in the industry.
Nakamoto, who reportedly communicated only via text messages, appeared patient, disciplined, rational, and mild-tempered. He never sought to be in the spotlight, even when he had the chance.
Nakamoto wanted early adopters not to promote Bitcoin because he believed it was not ready for further adoption. He left the Bitcoin exchange in 2011, presumably out of nervousness, after WikiLeaks began accepting Bitcoin and Anderson gave a presentation to the CIA.
Wright, on the other hand, has always been boastful. He has strongly hinted that he is Satoshi, both in symposiums and in blog posts, making it seem possible. "Fake Satoshi" is how Wright is called on Bitcoin internet forums, and he has taken every opportunity to put himself in the spotlight. Mailer wrote that Wright's attempts to prove that he is Satoshi are "the most egregious abuse of the process of this court." The ruling marks a complete defeat for Wright, though he has said he will appeal.
At the same time, it could leave him open to lawsuits from those who have been adversely affected by his actions, including companies and content creators like Coinbase and Peter McCormack.
If Wright were Satoshi, he could have forged a message and signed it with the private key of the genesis block. He could have signed the message with a PGP key (one that is not retroactive), but that has never happened.
“Bitcoin can finally be out of Wright’s hands,” the post reads.
