CoinDesk: ‘Craig Wright Lied to UK Court ‘Extensively and Repeatedly,’ Judge Writes’
“Craig Wright lied “extensively and repeatedly” in both his written and oral evidence in the Crypto Open Patent Alliance case regarding his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, Judge James Mellor said in his written judgement on Monday.
Mellor also concluded that the issue of injunctive relief – a legal remedy to stop a defendant from doing something – will be argued at a Form of Order hearing that will be appointed after the judgment has been handed down.
“Dr. Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011. Third, Dr. Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System. And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software,” Mellor said after both parties to the trial had presented their evidence.”
“I am entirely satisfied that Dr Wright lied to the Court extensively and repeatedly,” Mellor said. “Most of his lies related to the documents he had forged which purported to support his claim.””
