Golden Finance reported that Australian scientist Craig Wright, who claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, was found in contempt of court and sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years. It is reported that he appeared in court via video link and refused to disclose his specific location, but said he would appeal.
Previously, Wright launched a £900 billion "legal action" involving intellectual property rights. In March this year, a British judge ruled that Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto. The Cryptozoological Open Patent Alliance (COPA) first filed suit against Wright in April, seeking to block Wright from asserting copyright claims to the Bitcoin white paper and database. During the trial, two key figures took the stand, including Adam Back, a pioneer of Bitcoin’s proof-of-work consensus system.
