Satoshi Pretender Craig Wright Dodges Two-Year Jail Sentence
Craig Wright, known for claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, faced contempt of court for continuing to assert his identity and for filing more lawsuits related to Bitcoin. A UK High Court judge issued a warning instead of a two-year jail sentence, contingent on Wright ceasing his legal actions in Nakamoto's name. Wright, who did not appear at the hearing, had argued against attending due to financial burdens. This contempt claim arose from a recent lawsuit that was dismissed, reinforcing his contention that Bitcoin deviated from Nakamoto’s vision. The judge's decision aims to deter Wright from further legal breaches and to ensure compliance with prior rulings, which have repeatedly stated that he is not Satoshi. Legal experts suggest this ruling underscores the end of Wright's claims regarding Bitcoin's creation, establishing the court's position on his assertions.
