  • A UK judge has officially ruled that Craig Wright is guilty of forgery “on a grand scale” following his decisive court loss in March.
  • High Court Justice James Mellor described Wright’s extensive and repeated lies in court to support his claim of being Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
  • “Dr. Wright presents himself as an extremely clever person. However, in my judgment, he is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is,” Mellor stated.

Explore the recent UK court ruling where Craig Wright is found guilty of forgery, casting further doubt on his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Wright’s Overwhelming Forgeries

The High Court’s judgment against Wright marks a significant blow to his long-standing assertion of being the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. This ruling stems from a lawsuit initiated by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which aims to protect open-source developers and eliminate patents as barriers in the crypto industry.

Lies, Forgery, and Technobabble

Throughout the trial, evidence of Wright’s forgeries was overwhelming, with multiple instances of fabricated documents presented. Under intense scrutiny, Wright’s inability to substantiate his claims with credible evidence or coherent explanations became apparent, leading to the court’s harsh critique of his actions and statements.

Conclusion

The court’s ruling not only discredits Wright’s claim to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto but also highlights the challenges within the crypto community regarding identity, credibility, and the impact of such claims on the broader ecosystem. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of integrity and transparency in the continually evolving crypto landscape.
