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 suspended sentence. It is reported that he appeared via video link, refusing to disclose his exact location, but stated that he would appeal.
Previously, Wright initiated a £900 billion "legal action" 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 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.
