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

Previously, Wright initiated a £900 billion "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) filed a lawsuit against Wright for the first time in April, attempting to prevent Wright from asserting copyright claims 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.
