In a landmark ruling, a judge at the High Court in London declared that Craig Wright, the Australian “computer scientist” who has long claimed to be the elusive creator of Bitcoin, is not Satoshi Nakamoto. This decision came after a legal showdown with the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which is seeking to prevent Wright from suing Bitcoin developers and requesting a ruling confirming that he is not Satoshi.

Judge James Mellor issued the ruling on Thursday, confirming that Wright was not the pseudonymous inventor of the first and original cryptocurrency. The judge promised to provide detailed reasons for his decision at a later time.
The trial took place amid ongoing legal battles between Wright and COPA, with Wright issuing a settlement offer to the coalition and other interested parties. In his proposal, Wright offered to assign purported database rights and copyrights to the Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Bitcoin ABC (ABC) databases. However, COPA rejected the offer, stressing that it meant accepting Wright's self-proclaimed identity as Satoshi Nakamoto.
Furthermore, COPA introduced new forensic evidence during the trial to discredit Wright's claim, including the discovery of Chat GPT forgery by Wright, suggesting that the evidence he presented was fabricated. Despite Wright's constant assertions, Cuba remains steadfast in its position against recognizing him as Satoshi Nakamoto.
Last night, COPA detailed more reasons why Craig Wright could not be Satoshi Nakamoto. “These points come in addition to a large number of arguments focusing on Wright’s fraud and forgery on an industrial scale,” COPA said.
