High Court Rules Australian Computer Scientist Not Bitcoin Creator Satoshi Nakamoto
The high court in London has ruled that Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is not the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, ending a two-month trial. The judge concluded that the evidence overwhelmingly showed Wright was not the author of the bitcoin white paper, did not operate under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, did not create the bitcoin system, and was not the author of the initial versions of the bitcoin software. Wright was sued by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, which accused him of fabricating evidence. The court's ruling is seen as a win for the open source community and ends years of Wright's claims about being Nakamoto.
