Tuesday. July 16 at 6:30 PM
1 min. readRenowned Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, known for claiming to be the mastermind behind Bitcoin, has been reported to British prosecutors for suspected perjury. A London High Court judge discovered on July 16 that Wright had lied extensively to support his false assertion of being Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of the 2008 Bitcoin white paper. The judge's ruling indicated that Wright's behavior warranted referral to Britain's Crown Prosecution Service for potential perjury charges. This action was prompted by Wright's false testimony during a trial initiated by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance. Additionally, the High Court issued a World Freezing Order on Wright's assets to assist Peter McCormack, who was sued by Wright for libel. The court's detailed ruling dismantled Wright's fabricated evidence and exposed his deceitful actions in the case. The saga continues as the cryptocurrency world watches the unfolding drama.
