Dr Craig S Wright had publicly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. The High Court of England and Wales ruled on 14 March 2024, with written reasons issued on 20 May 2024, that Wright did not author the Bitcoin white paper, did not create the Bitcoin system, and did not write the initial Bitcoin software. The court further found that he had used forged documents and lied repeatedly and extensively in support of that claim. On 16 July 2024, the court imposed injunctions restraining him from bringing or threatening proceedings premised on being Satoshi Nakamoto or possessing specified Bitcoin-related intellectual-property rights. On 29 November 2024, the Court of Appeal dismissed his application for permission to appeal those orders as totally without merit.
Dr Craig S Wright was subsequently found in contempt of court on 19 December 2024 on five grounds for bringing and threatening a new Bitcoin-related claim in breach of the July 2024 injunction. The contempt sentencing imposed 12 months' imprisonment suspended until 20 December 2026, conditional on no further breach of the final order, and ordered him to pay COPA an interim costs payment of £145,000 within 14 days, while striking out his new claim as an abuse of process. Separately, in the 2021 Kleiman civil trial in Florida, a jury cleared Wright on nearly all issues but found liability resulting in a $100 million intellectual-property award to W&K Info Defense Research LLC.
