It's far worse than that... because the journalism falls down well before it gets into the hightech stuff. This case wasn't even over Wright being Satoshi or anything like that. And the outcome of the case was that the jury apparently didn't believe wright's claims of creating or mining bitcoin. They found Wright civilly liable for $100 million in damages for raiding his dead friends business by impersonating it in AU court, which he essentially admitted to in court (though obfuscated by claiming it was normal business practices to engage in sham lawsuits against yourself). So all this stuff about Satoshi this and that are pretty much entirely incidental to the court, and to the extent it came up at all the jury didn't fall for it. This is entirely the opposite view you'd get from the mass media articles because they're all parroting lightly "balanced" press releases from Wright.
