Gold Financial News reports that Craig Wright, an Australian scientist who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, has been found in contempt of court and sentenced to 12 months in prison, with a two-year suspended sentence. It is reported that he appeared in court via video link, refused to disclose his exact location, but stated that he would appeal. Previously, Wright initiated a £90 billion 'lawsuit' involving intellectual property. In March this year, a British judge ruled that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) first filed a lawsuit against 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.
