Judge says Craig Wright ‘not as clever as he thinks he is’ – Protos

A UK judge has branded litigious computer scientist Craig Wright an arrogant liar who frequently uses technobabble and isnt nearly as clever as he thinks he is.

The damning comments were made by Mr. Justice Mellor in a written judgment to accompany the March verdict in the civil lawsuit brought by the non-profit Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) that asked the court to rule that Wright didnt create the worlds most famous cryptocurrency.

Wright has been attempting to convince the world that he is Bitcoins creator ever since he claimed to the Australian Tax Office in 2013 that he controlled in excess of 1 million bitcoins. He has subsequently sought on multiple occasions to shut down anybody who challenges this view.

It was hoped that such a ruling would prevent the famously litigious Wright from continuing with separate lawsuits against a number of Bitcoin developers and prominent crypto companies, including Coinbase, Block, and Kraken.

In the judgment, Mellor confirms his view that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, did not author Bitcoins whitepaper in 2009, and did not create the Bitcoin system.

However, he will likely find it far more difficult to take that approach in the future following the outcome of this high-profile case and its accompanying no-holds-barred judgment. Mellor also stated that:

Wrights cross-examination in court threw up a number of bizarre moments. These include Qudos Bank CIO David Bridges claiming that Wright had become very annoying but was probably Satoshi because he was interested in Japanese stuff, Wright attempting to submit a box of old papers that his wife had apparently found, and his claims to have destroyed the hard drive containing Satoshis private keys while high on sedatives.

Wright also didnt do his case any favors when he mistakenly referred to Satoshi in the third-person.
