CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to CoinDesk, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) has filed a lawsuit against Craig Wright for allegedly contempt of court, seeking a maximum two-year prison sentence. COPA proposed in court documents an initial 18-month imprisonment for Wright, with an additional 6-month sentence if he does not promptly cease his contemptuous litigation conduct.
In March of this year, UK High Court judge James Mellor formally ruled that Wright is not the Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, and issued an injunction preventing him from filing lawsuits on this matter in the UK and other jurisdictions. Mellor warned at the time: 'Once the storm settles, Wright is likely to ramp up his public advocacy again.' However, in October of this year, Wright still filed a lawsuit regarding intellectual property related to the Bitcoin system, claiming damages of up to £900 million (approximately $1.1 billion).
