"Unfortunately, the court rules allowed for me to be sued pseudonymously, however, I couldn't defend myself pseudonymously. So I was put in an impossible situation of losing my privacy or losing the case in a default judgment. It sucks, but there's nothing more I could have done, really."

Ah, so they had to choose between publishing their identity or losing (and therefore owing 35,000 pounds in court fees)? Well, that does suck.

  Cobra attempted to pay the 35k GBP but they returned it because he wouldn't identify himself, claiming that AML laws prevented them from accepting the payment without his identity. The 35k was an amount the judge awarded pending a cost assessment from Wright's opposition. The fees were then increased to ~£600k after they submitted the cost assessment, which Cobra attempted to challenge but was denied again on the basis of anonymous parties having no due process rights in the the UK. I have no idea if Cobra has the means to pay such a large amount, if they'd even take it either, but even if he did-- it would be terrible and not just for him personally since all that money would be sunk back into suing other Bitcoin community members.
