UK Court Denies Craig Wright's Appeal, Says He Didn't Create Bitcoin

A UK court has denied Australian businessman Craig Wright’s appeal in the Bitcoin creator case, saying his claims to have created the cryptocurrency are false. The UK Court argues that Wright has largely issued false documents as evidence that he is the Bitcoin creator.

According to a court document released Friday, a Judge at the UK’s Court of Appeal ruled that there was no need for another hearing. The document claims that all the evidence presented by Wright concludes that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

“The judge had to decide a single question: is Dr. Wright, as he claims to be, the person who adopted the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, who wrote and published the first version of the Bitcoin White Paper on 31 October 2008, who wrote and released the first version of the Bitcoin Source Code and who created the Bitcoin system? This is a pure question of fact. The judge found that the answer to the question was no,” the court document reads.

“It is not credible on its face, and even less so given the judge’s findings as to Dr. Wright’s credibility,” the court stated, adding, “The appeals have no prospect of success whatever, and there is no other reason to hear them.”

UK Court Doubles Down: Craig Wright Didn’t Create Bitcoin

Craig Wright filed for appeal after Judge James Mellor’s ruling earlier this year that he was indeed not Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto. The original trial stems from Wright vs the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA). COPA opened the lawsuit against Wright in 2021. The crypto alliance wanted to prevent him from taking legal action against developers and other members of the crypto community. Additionally, the alliance didn’t want to allow Wright to claim intellectual property rights over Bitcoin’s open-source technology. While COPA took home a win in the previous ruling back in March, the denial of bail is another big one for the alliance.

The UK court previously ordered an injunction against Wright to stop falsely claiming he is the founder of Bitcoin. COPA claims the latest case by Wright violates the injunction. Meanwhile, Wright persistently argues that the Bitcoin core developers owe him $1 trillion as he is the real Satoshi.

Furthermore, the UK court will hold a two-day hearing in London beginning December 18, 2024. This hearing will determine whether the new case violates the previous injunction enacted by Judge Mellor. Despite the conclusion of this case, the question remains on crypto experts’ minds: who is the real Satoshi Nakamoto? In October, an HBO documentary revealed that Canadian Bitcoin core developer Peter Todd may be the secret creator of Bitcoin. However, Todd himself subsequently said he wasn’t Nakamoto, leaving the film’s message up for debate.

The outlet cited anonymous sources familiar with the matter, who chose to keep their identities concealed. An ASIC spokesperson said it could neither confirm or deny the reports.

ASIC is probing allegations of Binance incorrectly classifying retail and wholesale investors in its derivatives business. Binance Australia ’s fiat on-ramp services we...
