A judge has ruled that Craig Wright is not the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. The Crypto Open Patent Alliance won the case against Wright in a UK court. Justice James Mellor, who presided over the case, stated that Wright did not write the Bitcoin white paper, use Nakamoto’s pseudonym, create Bitcoin, or author the original versions of the network. Further details will be included in the written judgment. Mellor told the court that the deadline for filing the appellant’s notice will be extended until 21 days after the form of order hearing, which will be scheduled after the release of his written judgment. The results concluded a trial that lasted for a month, starting in February, settling a legal dispute that COPA initiated in 2021. The organization aimed to stop Wright from pursuing legal actions against individuals in the crypto and developer communities. This ruling is a victory for developers, the open-source community, and truth. Dr. Wright and his financial supporters have dishonestly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto for more than eight years and have used this deception to coerce and frighten developers within the Bitcoin community. Today the court determined that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, according to a COPA representative who contacted Blockworks via email. The ruling states that calling Wright “a fraud” did not constitute defamation. Mellor, as reported by COPA, believed that the evidence against Wright was very strong. Industry participants and commentators expressed their opinions on the decision in the crypto world. A Kraken spokesperson stated that Satoshi recognized the importance of decentralization and designed Bitcoin to prevent control by any one individual or entity. We are happy that the court acknowledged the conclusive evidence proving that Wright is not Satoshi.
