AUSTRALIAN’S SHOCKING Bitcoin Claim Lands Him in Contempt
— An Australian computer scientist, Craig Wright, falsely claimed to be the creator of BITCOIN and was found in contempt by London’s High Court. Justice James Mellor ruled that Wright violated a court order by threatening more legal action related to bitcoin. This breach involved a claim worth over 900 billion pounds ($1.1 trillion), according to Copa lawyers.
The court’s decision followed Wright’s persistent claims of being “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the mysterious creator of bitcoin. For eight years, Wright insisted he wrote the first versions of bitcoin software during the 2008 financial crisis. However, in March, Judge Mellor ruled against him and confirmed he was not Nakamoto.
Bitcoin’s origins remain a mystery since its start in 2008 under Nakamoto’s name. The digital currency promised anonymous transactions without banks or national currencies but left no trace of its creator after three years. As Wright awaits sentencing for contempt, questions about bitcoin’s true founder continue to intrigue many worldwide.
