Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of the Bitcoin network, according to a ruling by Judge James Mellor on March 14, reported BitMEX  Research . 

Closing arguments began in London on March 12 for the lawsuit brought by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) against Wright, an Australian computer scientist who claimed to be Nakamoto since 2016.

COPA was seeking injunctive relief to prevent Wright from further claiming to be Nakamoto. Wright has been accused of massive document forgery for supporting his claim of being the pseudonymous Bitcoin founder. According to COPA’s closing submission :

“Dr Wright has been shown to have lied on an extraordinary scale. […] He has invented an entire biographical history, producing one tranche after another of forged documents to support it.”

The trial began on February 5. Wright had offered to settle the case out of court on January 24, but COPA declined.
