Craig Wright faces two years in prison for contempt of court case

Craig Wright faces two years in prison for contempt of court case

Bitget2024/12/19 12:38

According to CoinDesk, Craig Wright, who once impersonated the anonymous founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, has been brought back to court. This time, the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) is debating a lawsuit filed by Wright in October over intellectual property related to the Bitcoin system worth 900 million pounds (about 1.1 billion dollars), questioning whether it constitutes contempt of court. Previously in March, a judge had explicitly prohibited him from suing over his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

The two-day trial is expected to conclude later on Thursday with COPA seeking imprisonment for Wright. The alliance has received support from various parties including Twitter founder Jack Dorsey and cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. In its core argument, COPA pointed out: "We propose that the court orders preliminary imprisonment for Wright for 18 months if he fails to mitigate his contempt of court by immediately ceasing violation of court orders; an additional six months' imprisonment will be added." Court documents have detailed this content.

In March, Judge James Mellor ruled that Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto. Subsequently, Mellor issued a court order prohibiting Wright from filing lawsuits on this claim in the UK and other jurisdictions.
