A judge in the UK High Court ruled that Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, marking the end of a years-long debate.
"The evidence is overwhelming," said Judge James Mellor, delivering a surprise ruling at the end of the trial.
"Dr. Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin white paper. Dr. Wright is not the person who operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Dr. Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin system and Dr. Wright is the author of the Bitcoin software,” he said.
The decision concludes a six-week trial in which the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a non-profit consortium of crypto companies, asked the court to investigate whether Wright is Satoshi, whether he fabricated his evidence. We mention that Mr. Wright had falsified his story repeatedly as new inconsistencies came to light.
"After all the evidence in this remarkable trial, it is clear beyond doubt that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto," said Jonathan Hough, legal counsel for COPA, as he began his closing arguments on Tuesday. "Wright lied and lied and lied."
"Since ancient times, where there was no obvious personality in the face of machinations, machinations, intrigues and "creations", the truth was one.
There has always been a clique, a caste, a (and/or many) "Services" hidden, and - as we know - for the last 77 years, one is The Service...
Yes, we said we don't want to be seen, but not for a Wright to take the glory from us too..."
This is how he will describe to the historian of the future the creation of Cryptos, one of the ACTUAL ruling minds.
