"COPA Accuses Craig Wright of Massive Lies About Creating Bitcoin, UK Judge Agrees"

TL;DR Summary
The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), backed by Jack Dorsey, has won a UK court ruling stating that Craig Wright, who claimed to be Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, "lied on an extraordinary scale" and is not the author of the Bitcoin white paper or the creator of Bitcoin technology. COPA accused Wright of forging documents and using the courts for fraud. The alliance aims to remove patents as a barrier to cryptocurrency innovation. This ruling comes after Wright previously sued Bitcoin Core developers and companies for copyright violations, prompting the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund to speak out against abusive lawsuits in the Bitcoin community.
