Craig Wright heading to COPA trial on March 1  (Camomile Shumba/CoinDesk)

This Is (Hopefully) the Last CoinDesk Article to Mention Craig Wright

Summary

Craig Wright was found not to be Satoshi Nakamoto or the author of the Bitcoin white paper by Justice James Mellor. Wright wasted the court's time and is looking to appeal the decision. COPA's lawsuit proved that Wright had been forging documents and lying, leading to a freeze of his assets. The judgment criticized Wright for lying and committing forgery, and emphasized that seeking to control Bitcoin through the courts is against the spirit of Bitcoin. Wright has dropped legal actions and will no longer be able to pursue cases in the U.K. due to its libel laws.
