Hodlonaut Trial

That guy's words are worth the value of the text file they are typed in retrospectively hex edited in to.

Fixed that for you.

Particularly ironic given the whole hodlonaut trial is about CSW claiming that hodlonaut's tweets stopped him from attending conferences.

I wonder how exactly could this happen when he was banned from twitter for a while, unless this happened before he was baned.
Maybe he was glued to the screen, reading hodlonaut tweets and writing replies on his own version of social network I can't remember it's name called twetch.
Meanwhile I see that hodlonaut was talking with one @MarkEglinton who said he wanted to write an ''objective'' article, but it appears he is long time supporter of CSW and CAyre.

When will be the verdict announced?
If I remember correctly it was in the middle of October ( or maybe it was November).

The judge said she will notify the both parties a few days prior, when she is ready, but I can't find any more info about it.

The official deadline is November 8th, but we're expecting/hoping it to be announced earlier than that.
The October 7 you may be remembering was only to fill the costs papers.

Thanks dude! That's why I was thinking about October, I listened the whole trial, and now I remember that there was this about the costs.
Damn, I cannot wait until 8th of November. Getting exiting already...

[Hodlonaut] won the case. He is therefore basically entitled to full compensation for his reasonable and necessary legal costs

The court believes that [Hodlonaut] had sufficient factual grounds to claim that Wright had lied and cheated in his attempt to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. At the time of the remarks, there was public discussion about whether Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto or not. In media coverage, the prevailing opinion was that Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto. The court refers to the previously mentioned articles from Gizmodo (2015), and BBC News The Guardian and GQ Magazine (2016). Both parties have tried to prove that Wright is and is not Satoshi Nakamoto, respectively. The court points out that the evidence brought in the case is not suitable to change the prevailing opinion that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

Good news. So what happens to Craig now?

He takes more money from his marks and continues using it to fund a campaign of harassment and intimidation against Bitcoin developers and advocates in order to continue to put on a show of attempting to steal Satoshi's coins,  same as before.

Probably also a bunch of gaslighting to allege that he actually won in Norway.

[Lucius]

I know that everything is possible, but honestly I was convinced that there would be no other outcome than this - the evidence is more than clear even for someone who is not an expert, in this case a judge in a Norwegian court. Given that Hodlonaut won, does that mean he won't need the funds he collected through the campaign - and what will happen to those funds in that case?

Probably also a bunch of gaslighting to allege that he actually won in Norway.

The man is a proven pathological liar, but does it even make sense to lie that you won the case in court if the verdict is more than clear?

He did so in Florida even after getting a $100 million USD judgement against him (+$49m interest), he claimed won because his opponent didn't prevail on literally every claim they made.  I assume he'll do exactly the same in this case.  Does it make sense?  A *lot* of the media went forward with an uncritical claim that he won (and even that the case proved he was Satoshi!) copied right out of Wright's PR material fraudulently published as "journalism" in coingeek.

Here is a translation of the decision:  https://files.catbox.moe/x8n18i.pdf

i know the case started with the courts saying it did not want to be involved in proving/disproving "satoshi". where it only wanted to decide on if hodlonaut was the genesis instigator of CSW negative rep.. which is clear he was not. but i am also glad the court also mentioned that CSW us a proven liar and that the evidence still points to that CSW is not satoshi

i bet hodlonaut is currently excited, happy, relieved, exhausted and celebrating. i can imagine him now relieving the dead weight off his shoulders, that was pressing on him for the last 3 years, he deserves a stiff drink and a vacation to finally relax. and bask in the glory


i also hope this result wakes up the CSW fangirls where they start to sue CSW for misled investments, maybe even hope some whistle blow on some CSW criminal scams that can get CSW in criminal court with some proper punishment...


..
anyway hodlonauut deserves the ~$670k of which ~$450k is legal costs plus all the celebrations, congratulations and donations we as a community want to give him.

Congrats to Hodlonaut and to the greater Bitcoin community. It’s nice to see the courts get something right. Having all of his costs paid is also a great thing. Considering much of the funds were donated to pay his fees, this has got to feel like a nice gift at the end of a long struggle. I hope this keeps faketoshi from suing devs and others instead of giving him the fuel to continue doing horrible things. This is a big win for us all.

I got a tweet notification from Norbert, the first thing I saw was... 🎉

Like Lucius

I was convinced that there would be no other outcome than this

And is indeed great to see a court of law finally state what we all knew.

We have many anniversaries in Bitcoin world I think this is another "hodlonaut day"

Thank you!!! Finally, Mr. Wrong was proven wrong... Next step is confirmation of the same statement in UK!!
That's another great news after bsv fee statement and "freezing" and the legal threats and turning the miners against him...

Fundamentally, I think the issue is just with how brazen these creeps have become.  They're not worried about losing a lawsuit here or there because they think (correctly?) they're immune. The people they're attacking don't have that comfort.

Pedophile or what?

[goldkingcoiner]

Man, am I glad this is over and true justice is served. Although in the case of Craig Wrong, it would be true justice if he was sent to a mental health facility which cures him of his seemingly psychopathic mental state. Or at least keeps him away from the public where he can do no more harm.

Egotistical, petty, delusional and power hungry. These types of people are always trying to screw other people over to make themselves richer/more powerful/etc. Although who knows, this might all be a giant ploy to get Satoshi to reveal himself. Not that I am much of a conspiracy theorist but I do enjoy the occasional conspiracy.

Anyway, great news for the Hodlnaut. Hopefully we will see some more good news in the coming days about Bitcoin adoption, after all this free BTC PR thanks to faketoshi.

Hire some pirates to start sinking yachts in international waters/or docked in third-world South American countries and we will see most of this trash disappear in a few years.

Good news. So what happens to Craig now?

He gets called out as a liar, an impostor, a fraud and a conman at every turn for the rest of his life.  The usual I-am-not-a-lawyer disclaimer applies, but it sounds as though legal precedent is on our side should any of us decide to publicly dismantle Wright's facade in a humiliating fashion.

It's open-season on shady scumbag identity thieves.

Not enough. Zero ethics make you immune to such offends. I want him behind the bars.

I am sure he is going to continue with his lawsuits with other people in other countries, because this is only related with country Norway.
Judge ruled that is lied and cheated to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, so it's confirmed again he is a fraud.
He won't go in jail for sure (maybe he should) but I am expecting he is going to pay a lot of money to Hodlonaut aka Magnus now  

Probably also a bunch of gaslighting to allege that he actually won in Norway.

Let me take a quick look at their propaganda website coingeek...title say ''Granath v Wright Oslo verdict: Hodlonaut not liable for defamation in Norway''.
They claim this is only ''Round One'' and they will continue parallel defamation case in the United Kingdom next year.
CSW can always file an appeal but I think next on line is Peter McCormack, according to them.

Interesting to see how the law works in the UK given that Cobra did not even attempt to put up a case when he was sued by CSW - so we don't have much info on whether the UK courts would be as knowledgeable and straightforward as their Norwegian counterparts.
