Craig Wright, once claiming to be Bitcoin's creator, must now display a legal notice on his website stating he is not Satoshi Nakamoto.
Wright's website must display the notice for six months. It links to the full judgment and details of forged documents.
The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) sued Wright in 2021. COPA wanted a ruling to prevent Wright from claiming Bitcoin copyright.
Prevent him from claiming copyright of the Bitcoin white paper and suing his critics and developers under the guise of his creation of Bitcoin.
It all started in 2016, when Wright began claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, thereby trying to assert his rights to Bitcoin intellectual property in a very aggressive way.
However, the court found that Wright produced forged documents and altered documents to support his own claims.
The turning point came when Judge James Mellor concluded that the creators of a highly technical system like Bitcoin would not have made the careless errors found in Wright's evidence.
The trial didn't stop there! As well as rejecting Wright's claims, Mr Justice Mellor referred Wright to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for possible prosecution on perjury and forgery charges.
The judge stressed that Wright had lied extensively and falsified documents on a "large scale."
The CPS will decide whether to prosecute Wright for wrongdoing and may seek his arrest and extradition.
Wright must post a similar notice on his X (formerly Twitter) account. As of now, he hasn't updated his account.
Despite Wright's social media claims, he hasn't applied for permission to appeal the judgment.
