1 min. readChristen Ager-Hansen, a former associate of Craig Wright, attempted to prevent a disastrous legal battle from unfolding. Despite Ager-Hansen's realization that the case was unwinnable and Wright was a fraud, others, such as Calvin Ayre, Wright's billionaire supporter, stood firm. Wright, who falsely claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto during the COPA vs. Wright trial, now faces potential perjury charges in the UK. High Court Judge Edward James Mellor concluded that Wright had lied extensively to support his false identity. Ager-Hansen, who had suspicions early on, described nChain, Wright's company, as cult-like. Despite warnings, Ayre and Stefan Matthews, nChain's executive chairman, persisted. Ager-Hansen's concerns grew, leading to a mock trial that exposed Wright's deceit. The aftermath revealed a web of legal battles and enemies for Wright, with potential perjury charges looming. The saga highlights the clash between greed and integrity in the crypto world.
