Craig Wright ‘Committed Perjury’ in U.K. Trial Over Satoshi Claims, COPA Says

Summary

Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) plans to ask U.K. prosecutors to consider if Craig Wright perjured himself during a trial to determine if he is Satoshi Nakamoto. COPA's counsel stated that evidence presented in the trial proves Wright is not Satoshi, accusing him of forgeries and being a dishonest witness. COPA aims to seek injunctive relief to prevent Wright from pursuing further action against the crypto community. They also intend to refer the case files to U.K. prosecutors for consideration of prosecution for perjury and perverting the course of justice. The trial's outcome could impact other cases involving Wright and the crypto community.
