A judge will determine whether computer scientist Craig Wright is the inventor of Bitcoin. The network's future may hang in the balance.
In October 2008, Nakamoto gave Bitcoin to the world. Then they disappeared. To this day, nobody knows who Nakamoto is. Amongst the speculation, one man stepped forward: Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist who has, since 2016, maintained that he is Nakamoto. Now he’ll have to prove it in court. On February 5, a trial will begin in the UK High Court, the purpose of which is to challenge Wright’s claim to Satoshi-hood.
” The main allegation is that Wright has forged or tampered with many of these documents to make them seem as if they were created at a particular point in time. “COPA has filed extensive evidence that we believe shows Wright has fabricated and forged,” says a COPA representative, who asked that their name not be published to prevent personal legal retaliation from Wright.
