In a recent judgement by Judge James Mellor on March 14, it was concluded that Craig Wright is not the enigmatic inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, as revealed by BitMEX Research. Wright, an Australian computer scientist, has been falsely claiming to be Nakamoto since 2016, and as a result, had a lawsuit filed against him by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA). The closing arguments in this lawsuit took place in London starting March 12. COPA's aim was to prevent Wright from continuing his false claims of being Nakamoto. Allegations had been levied against Wright for creating vast amounts of fake documents to support his fraudulent claims of being the anonymous creator of Bitcoin. As per the final submission by COPA, "Dr Wright has been proven to have lied on a monumental scale. […] He has fabricated an entire personal history, producing one batch after another of counterfeit documents as evidence.” The trial proceedings started back on February 5. Despite Wright offering to settle matters outside the court on January 24, COPA chose not to comply.
