By order of a UK judge, Craig Wright can no longer claim he is the creator of bitcoin and now faces the prospect of criminal charges.
In a judgment published Tuesday, Justice James Mellor outlined various injunctions to be imposed upon Wright, after finding in May that he had “engaged in the deliberate production of false documents to support false claims and use the Courts as a vehicle for fraud.” By order of the judge, Wright will be prevented from claiming publicly that he is Satoshi and bringing or threatening legal action in any jurisdiction on that basis.
The organization asked the court to declare that Wright is not the creator of Bitcoin, to prevent him from carrying forward multiple separate lawsuits against Bitcoin developers and other parties built atop the claim. In an attritional cross-examination, Wright was presented with documents bearing hundreds of alleged indications of forgery. Wright weaved a patchwork of justifications in a bid to explain away the abnormalities, but failed to convince the judge.
