**Craig Wright Admits He’s Not Bitcoin’s Creator**
In a surprising twist, Craig Wright has issued a legal disclaimer on his website, stating he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator of Bitcoin. This comes after a recent ruling by the UK High Court of Justice, which sided with the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA).
Key points from the disclaimer:
- Wright admits he did not author the Bitcoin white paper.
- He concedes he does not hold the copyright to Bitcoin's technology.
Wright has long claimed to be Nakamoto, but COPA presented over 50 pieces of evidence debunking his assertions. Judge James Mellor concluded that Wright's forgeries and tampered metadata proved he was not the creator of Bitcoin.
Adding to his woes, Wright’s assets were frozen to cover $2 million in legal fees owed to podcaster Peter McCormack. Judge Mellor has also recommended a perjury investigation against Wright.
