In a groundbreaking decision, a judge at London's High Court has ruled that Craig Wright, the Australian self-proclaimed 'computer scientist,' is not the mastermind behind Bitcoin, also known as Satoshi Nakamoto. The verdict came as a result of a legal dispute with the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which aimed to prevent Wright from suing Bitcoin developers and sought confirmation that he is not Satoshi.

The Judge Say No

Judge James Mellor delivered the ruling on Thursday, definitively stating that Wright is not the anonymous figure responsible for the creation of the pioneering cryptocurrency. He assured that detailed explanations for the judgment would be provided later.

The trial unfolded amid ongoing legal clashes between Wright and COPA, with Wright extending a settlement offer to the alliance and other involved parties. In his proposal, Wright offered to relinquish his purported database rights and copyrights associated with Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Bitcoin ABC (ABC) databases. However, COPA rebuffed the offer, arguing that accepting it would imply acknowledgment of Wright's self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto identity.

Furthermore, COPA introduced fresh forensic evidence during the trial to discredit Wright's assertion, including the unearthing of a Chat GPT forgery attributed to Wright, indicating potential fabrication of the evidence he presented. Despite Wright's persistent claims, COPA remains resolute in its refusal to recognize him as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Last night, COPA outlined additional reasons why Craig Wright cannot be Satoshi Nakamoto. "These points supplement a multitude of arguments highlighting Wright's deceit and forgeries, which are described as 'industrial scale,'" COPA declared.
