The article details the ongoing legal troubles of Dr. Craig Wright, who claims to be Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. After a London trial ruled against him, he has been subjected to a court order preventing him from launching further legal actions related to Bitcoin. His previous actions, driven by a desire to assert intellectual property over the cryptocurrency, led to his conviction for contempt of court. The case highlights the broader implications of legal misuse within the cryptocurrency space and calls into question issues of identity and authority within the industry.
Computer scientist Dr Craig Wright is to be given a court order stopping him from bringing future legal action after using the courts to terrorise his perceived enemies, the High Court has heard.
He brought legal proceedings against those who challenged his claims and was himself sued by the non-profit cryptocurrency group Crypto Open Patent Alliance (Copa) last year.
A judge ruled in March last year that Dr Wright was not Satoshi and that he had lied extensively during the trial, also barring him from launching or threatening further legal action related to Bitcoin.
In December, he was sentenced to 12 months in jail, suspended for two years, for contempt of court after issuing a new claim for more than 900 billion related to Bitcoin.
