- Tomte 3y agoThe court did not say that. The other party said that about Wright.
- seanhunter 3y agoThe court hasn't issued a written judgement yet but here's what the judge actually did say: “... having considered all the evidence and submissions presented to me in this trial, I’ve reached the conclusion that the evidence is overwhelming,” Mellor said. “First, that Dr Wright is not the author of the bitcoin white paper. Second, Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011. “Third, Dr Wright is not the person who created the bitcoin system. And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the bitcoin software.” https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/14/australian-craig-wright-not-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-high-court-rules https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/14/australia...
