In a landmark ruling, a London High Court judge declared that Craig Wright, the Australian “computer scientist” who has long claimed to be the elusive creator of bitcoin, is not Satoshi Nakamoto. This decision came after a legal confrontation with the crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), seeking to prevent Wright from suing bitcoin developers and requesting a ruling that he is not Satoshi.

Judge James Mellor issued the verdict on Thursday, stating that Wright is not the pseudonymous inventor of the first and original cryptocurrency. The judge promised to set out detailed reasons for his decision at a later date.
The trial unfolded amid ongoing legal battles between Wright and COPA, and Wright issued a settlement offer to the alliance and other parties involved. In his proposal, Wright offered to waive his purported database rights and copyrights related to the bitcoin (btc), bitcoin Cash (BCH), and bitcoin ABC (ABC) databases. However, COPA rejected the offer, emphasizing that it would involve acceptance of Wright's self-proclaimed identity as Satoshi Nakamoto.
Additionally, COPA presented new forensic evidence during trial to discredit Wright's claim, including Wright's discovery of a Chat GPT forgery, suggesting that the evidence he presented was fabricated. Despite Wright's persistent claims, COPA remains firm in its position against recognizing him as Satoshi Nakamoto.
