Craig Wright Convicted for False Claims as Bitcoin’s Inventor

Craig Wright, a computer scientist, has been convicted of contempt of court for repeatedly claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous inventor of Bitcoin. Despite a March ruling stating he was not Satoshi, Wright continued to assert his ownership of Bitcoin intellectual property and demanded $1.2 trillion. A judge suspended his 12-month sentence for two years, warning that continued false claims could lead to imprisonment. Described in court as ‘legal terrorism,’ Wright’s actions have caused significant distress to others in the cryptography community.
