Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, was sentenced to 12 months in prison for contempt of court, with a two-year probation.

According to BlockBeats news, on December 20, Australian scientist Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, was found in contempt of court and sentenced to 12 months in prison with a two-year probation. It is reported that he appeared via video link, refused to disclose his exact location, but stated that he would appeal.

Previously, Wright initiated a £900 billion 'legal lawsuit' involving intellectual property. In March of this year, a British judge ruled that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) first sued Wright in April, attempting to prevent him from claiming copyright over the Bitcoin white paper and database. During the trial, two key figures testified, including Adam Back, a pioneer of the Bitcoin proof-of-work consensus system.
