COPA Files New Contempt Motion Against Craig Wright, Seeks Two-Year Jail Term

BlockBeats News, December 19, according to CoinDesk, the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) has once again taken legal action against Craig Wright, also known as Faketoshi, accusing him of contempt of court. COPA is seeking a two-year prison sentence for Craig Wright. COPA believes that Craig Wright's attempt in October to bring a £9 billion ($11 billion) lawsuit related to intellectual property in the Bitcoin system was tantamount to contempt of court.

BlockBeats Note: Craig Wright, full name Craig Steven Wright, is an Australian computer scientist and businessman, renowned for claiming to be the creator of Bitcoin under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. His claims have sparked widespread controversy and skepticism, garnering significant attention both inside and outside the cryptocurrency community.

In 2015, articles published in Wired and Gizmodo magazines suggested that Craig Wright might be the mysterious founder of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. These articles cited leaked emails, chat logs, and business documents. Subsequently, Wright publicly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto and attempted to prove it through a technical demonstration. However, his evidence was considered to be flawed and unconvincing.

On July 17 this year, Craig Wright, also known as "Faketoshi," officially released a public statement admitting that he is not the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
