Bitcoin, allegedly created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, has been subject to claims by Australian Craig Wright as its creator. However, after a six-week trial, a UK court has ruled that Wright is not Satoshi.
In its closing filing, COPA petitioned for the matter of forgery to be referred to the UK criminal courts. “In putting forward his dishonest claim to be Satoshi and backing it up with a huge number of forged documents, Wright has committed fraud upon the court,” Hough told the judge. If found guilty, Wright could face a fine, imprisonment, or both.
