Craig Wright Was Finally Called Out in Court and Hodlonaut Is Celebrating

Summary

Craig S. Wright has been ruled a fraud by the U.K. High Court after a trial brought by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance. The judge stated that Wright has been lying for years and may face criminal proceedings for perjury and fraud. Wright has sued numerous individuals challenging his claims of being the inventor of Bitcoin, but the evidence against him is overwhelming. Hodlonaut, one of the individuals sued by Wright, feels vindicated by the verdict and expects a lengthy written judgment to be "brutal." Despite Wright's supporters, including investors in his fork of Bitcoin, it is widely recognized that he has been lying and unable to provide evidence of being Satoshi Nakamoto. Wright's legal campaign was seen as an attempt to set a precedent in the legal system, but the Bitcoin community has stood firm against his claims. If Hodlonaut's appeals case is dismissed, he may consider taking an offensive stance against others in the space.
