The long-standing mystery surrounding the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator took a dramatic turn as a judge in London’s High Court ruled that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. The decision came after a legal battle with the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which sought to prevent Wright from suing bitcoin developers and affirm that he is not the elusive inventor.
Judge James Mellor’s verdict delivered a blow to Wright’s claims, stating that the evidence overwhelmingly proves he is not the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper, nor the creator of the cryptocurrency. The trial saw COPA presenting new forensic evidence, including a Chat GPT forgery by Wright, casting doubt on his credibility.
Despite Wright’s persistent assertions, COPA remains resolute in its stance against recognizing him as Satoshi Nakamoto. The alliance detailed multiple reasons why Wright cannot be the real Satoshi, citing his alleged fraud and forgeries ‘on an industrial scale.’
The ruling marks a significant moment in the ongoing saga of Bitcoin’s origins, shedding light on the true identity of its creator and dispelling the myth surrounding Craig Wright’s claims. As the crypto community awaits the detailed reasoning behind the judge’s decision, the debate over Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
