Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, who claims to be Bitcoin's anonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto, is facing contempt of court charges in the UK. This comes after his false claims were rejected by the High Court of England and Wales in a long-standing litigation with Bitcoin core developers. The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), associated with Block (formerly known as Square), took legal action to prevent Wright from suing Bitcoin developers in the future and the court placed an injunction on him. COPA argues that Wright's lawsuit against Block goes against this injunction. Wright appeared in court without legal representation and the hearing is scheduled for December 18. The judge in a previous case stated that Wright lied extensively and falsified documents. The case highlights the legal implications for individuals claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto and raises questions about legal systems' approach to future claimants.
