Judge: Evidence Is Overwhelming, Craig Wright Is Not Satoshi Nakamoto
Craig Wright is NOT Satoshi Nakamoto, the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper, the creator of Bitcoin or author of the Bitcoin software, U.K. Judge James Mellor said after closing arguments in the Crypto Open Patent Alliance trial on Thursday.
- "I have reached the conclusions the evidence is overwhelming. I will prepare a fairly long judgement. As for the full final ruling, it will be ready when it is ready," the judge added.
- COPA took Wright to court last month to secure a ruling that he wasn't the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin in an effort to prevent him from suing other developers or claiming intellectual property rights over the technology.
