UK Court Freezes Craig Wright’s Assets
Following a ruling that Craig Wright falsely claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin, a UK judge has taken action to prevent Wright from evading court orders. The judge issued a worldwide asset freezing order, blocking £6 million ($7.6 million) of Wright’s assets to prevent him from transferring them offshore. This move came after legal documents were filed on Thursday detailing the court’s decision.
Judge’s Decision on Wright’s Payment Orders
The ruling originated from a case brought by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) challenging Wright’s claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. Judge James Mellor debunked Wright’s assertions and determined that he did not write the Bitcoin white paper or initial software versions. The court’s decision raised concerns about Wright transferring shares of his company to avoid paying costs totaling approximately £6.7 million. Recognizing Wright’s history of defaulting on payments, the judge issued the freezing order to prevent asset dissipation.

Debunking Wright’s Satoshi Claim
In a landmark trial, COPA sought injunctive relief to halt Wright from continuing to assert he is Satoshi Nakamoto. The court’s ruling definitively stated that Wright is not the creator of Bitcoin. Extensive allegations of document forgery were made against Wright during the trial, revealing fabricated evidence to support his false claims about being the Bitcoin founder. COPA emphasized Wright’s elaborate deception in creating a false biographical history and forging documents to substantiate his claims.

Evidence of Nakamoto as a Collective Entity
Recent investigations suggest that Satoshi Nakamoto might be a collective entity rather than an individual. The usage of both “we” and “I” in the Bitcoin white paper hints at a team operating under a single pseudonym. This revelation adds another layer to the mystery surrounding the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator, casting further doubt on Wright’s claims.
