Craig Wright Says He Can't Appear in December COPA Lawsuit Due to Autism and Christmas Schedule

Craig “Satoshi Auburn” Wright has argued that he will not be able to attend a December court meeting due to his severe autism and his Christmas schedule, after he was charged with contempt of court in a legal motion filed by the Coalition for Crypto Open Patents (COPA), Protos reports.

Bird and Bird, the law firm representing the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, claimed that Craig Wright violated his injunction after removing online notices and filing lawsuits against Jack Dorsey's Square Up and BTC Core.

Beyond that, the Crypto Open Patent Coalition seeks a stay of Wright's lawsuit and a suspension of related court proceedings until the contempt action is resolved. According to Crypto Open Patent Coalition attorney Joe Jonathan Hough, “Wright is trying to avoid the consequences of his actions. He may be trying to avoid the police or avoid detention.”
