Judge Rejects Craig Wright’s Claim To Be Satoshi, Dismisses Authorship Of Bitcoin Whitepaper The judge denied Craig Wright’s assertion that he is Satoshi and dismissed his claim to have authored the Bitcoin Whitepaper.

In an important update, UK Judge James Mellor has declared that Craig Wright, an Australian entrepreneur, is not the individual behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, who is credited as the creator of Bitcoin. The decision was made following the end of the COPA trial, where substantial evidence was presented to disprove Wright’s assertions. Judge Mellor aims to issue a ruling that confirms Wright’s lack of involvement in Bitcoin’s creation, the writing of its whitepaper, and the development of its technology. Flaws in the Satoshi Nakamoto narrative have been exposed. The COPA trial, which examined both technical and circumstantial evidence, pointed out many factors that suggest Wright cannot be identified as Satoshi Nakamoto. COPA’s evidence not only refuted Wright’s claims, but also revealed his alleged fraud and numerous forgeries. A major focus of COPA’s argument concerns the origin of the Bitcoin White Paper. It was discovered that the document was created using OpenOffice, despite Wright’s claim that it was made in LaTeX. COPA also provided evidence of a conversation between Satoshi Nakamoto and Adam Back, the co-founder and CEO of Blockstream. Wright stated that Back rejected the idea of Bitcoin and foreseeed its downfall after receiving communication from Nakamoto in August 2008. Nevertheless, Adam Back’s email exchanges did not support Wright’s version of events, which made his credibility even more questionable. The trial also examined how Satoshi Nakamoto was influenced by the work of Wei Dai.
