UK Judge Condemns Craig Wright's Fabrication in Satoshi Nakamoto Claim
The judge, James Mellor, condemned Wright's actions as "extensively and repeatedly," preventing him from pursuing further lawsuits in the UK regarding his claim.
In a scathing 231-page judgment, Mellor accused Wright of repeatedly lying and committing forgery on a significant scale in his attempts to establish himself as Satoshi. This ruling stems from a civil trial brought by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which aimed to thwart Wright's assertions of being Bitcoin's inventor.
