Man who falsely claimed to be bitcoin creator sentenced

[shield132]

I see no reason for claiming to be satoshi nakamoto while he is not and he tried the best to make sure that the world believed he is satoshi but on the other hand he failed because his claim werent back up with some facts that he is satoshi or even signed messages from his bitcoin address or make some transactions from his wallet to prove he is Satoshi, then fine, he could have won the battle, but instead fighting a blind battle with no facts to show he is nakamoto.
BTW, 12 months is actually very pitiable to him otherwise, country like ours he could be sentence for 6-10 years imprisonment for allegedly claiming what he is not, anyway that place would serve him as a resting place to enable him use his right senses.

He isn't Satoshi Nakamoto and we all know it but he still tries to find loopholes and prove what's wrong, he tries it because there is so much to gain for him on the table. If he proves that he is Satoshi, then he will be able to claim rights on the ownership of Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies, he will force developers to fork and give him an early mined 1 million Bitcoins. In overall, he will have total control of Bitcoin.

id love to see him in prison, but he is not going..

I'd say that I'd love to see him in prison but I think that prison is not the right place for him. He has mental problems, that needs treatment, prison will only worsen his mentality. This man should be put on antipsychotic meds and should get the right treatment. He is so bad that he doesn't deserve treatment but I think it's humane.

You all know who I am talking about. He is the most well known Faketoshi. I do not know what happened to Craig Wright for continuing suing bitcoin developers in the cases he has lost all the time. The court has said he is not Satoshi Nakamoto but he still continues to sue bitcoin developers. He has now been sentenced to 12 moths in prison.

This looks funny and what is the real reason behind him saying that he is the creator of bitcoin. Many clamps like this have appeared before but people will stop when the public starts to identify that he is not the creator of bitcoin and over time the issue will no longer grow. Craig Wright is trying to lie to the public and his clamp is not so basic and then what does he want to prove and how after being sentenced will he continue to try to convince the court and the public itself.

It is like a person who says that the treasure is his and maybe overall there is an advantage when he wins the case in court. But the question is what does Craig Wright expect who is too busy convincing the public that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

Man who falsely claimed to be bitcoin creator sentenced for continuing to sue developers

The court has said he is not Satoshi Nakamoto but he still continues to sue bitcoin developers. He has now been sentenced to 12 moths in prison.

On Thursday Wright was sentenced for five counts of contempt of court. Sentencing him to 12 months in jail, suspended for two years and to pay £145,000 in costs within a fortnight, the court also struck out his enormous claim.

Edit:

It was a suspended sentence.

This is a big clap back to his self that no one believes on everything he says. Hopefully he realize that when he is suspended to do any further more crazy actions regarding on his fake claims. Right now he became a big mockery in cryptocurrency scene so hopefully this is the end of his craziness and we see him stop claiming that he is the real Satossi Nakamoto.

What government do also leaves certain warnings to other people who planned to create a false claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto to think about it since if they cannot provide any solid proof that can verify everything what they want to say then provably that they may also experience what that famous Faketoshi get.

Everyone is really just that waiting for someone who do able to move out those Satoshi known wallets for those coins to be transferred or simply being moved on which this will really be the only proof on what the community is wanting. Its been long time that this clown had been turned out to be a mockery into this entire space and even into those other faketoshis on  trying out to claim that they are indeed Satoshi but no one had proven out themselves to be that the real one. They've been asked to move out coins to back up their claims but all of them do end up on being a clown. How about on trying out to suspend or getting imprison into those faketoshis in all the list? 

[mindrust]

The dude is mentally ill. He should be in a mental hospital instead of prison tbh. I ain’t no doctor but he might be schizophrenic. Obviously he built an alternative reality for himself and he lives in it. There, he is the inventor of bitcoin, thee satoshi nakamoto, god of math and cryptography, master scientist, lvl100 archmage, craig the white.

Or maybe I am wrong about all…

He is just a fucking scammer.

Either way I am glad he ain’t succeeding at whatever he has been doing.

Roger gives similar vibes too btw. Not as crazy though

[bizeodal]

The court has been so lenient on him. He has reigned for so long that I began to suspect a kind of conspiracy between him and the US government. Sentencing him is a kind of relief to my memory but I suspect that after 12 months CW will continue his frivolous claims. Maybe it is time we accept his behaviour to be part of the industry drama that will ensure for a long period of time (as long as he lives and bitcoin exists).

The maximum sentence for contempt of court is 2 years. The lawyers asked the judge for 2 years, not suspended. The judge chose 1 year, suspended for 2 years. It is rare for contempt sentences to be longer than 30 days, but this case was serious

Suspended sentence means that if he breaches the Judge's injunctions against Bitcoin-related lawsuits, he gets to serve the 1 year, he gets another contempt conviction with a longer sentence, and he has to serve both. If he stops now, then the injunctions are effective, he doesn't make any more fraudulent lawsuits. If he tries again, he gets his 1 year in prison, plus more prison time

I began to suspect a kind of conspiracy between him and the US government

Ludicrous conspiracy talk. Get real

I do not know what happened to Craig Wright for continuing suing bitcoin developers in the cases he has lost all the time.

I don't know if anyone has said it here already but we have a very popular saying in Nigeria and it explains Craig Wright's situation very well. The saying is, who the God's wants to kill, they first make him mad. In the case of Craig Wright, I am not inferring that he is going to be killed or die but that metaphorically speaking, his reputation and name is what is going to be dead by the time this is all over. And that is if it isn't over for him already. There is nothing for him to prove. If he claims he's Satoshi, it is very simple transfer some Bitcoin out of his wallet, then we will all believe him and apologize to him.

[Z-tight]

The conman won't give up, even when it is very obvious that he has not been successful with his agenda of spreading lies and deceiving his small followers. I wish he ends up in prison, many bitcoiners wish the same thing for the attack he has meted out to bitcoin developers or anyone who challenged his lies. It is a suspended sentence though and he will stay away from the U.K. for now, however, this is progress made.

[moneystery]

i know this old man and he has tried to sue bitcoin developers several times and claim that he is the real satoshi. this old man is really crazy about claiming that he is satoshi, even i can say that the court is fed up with the nonsense he gave in court. none of his arguments were proven and he just claimed without any strong evidence, he sued many people without clear evidence, and this is the same as playing the court just because he is rich.

he deserves this punishment, and he should get a harsher punishment, even if it means banning him from being involved in things related to bitcoin on the basis of market misleading and baseless claims.

[Kelward]

About time that he's put in a place that is well deserved for people like him, let him cool off in jail, we'll see if a correctional facility will correct his character. He's lucky to get only a six month sentence, I think that he deserves to stay longer than that in jail as a deterant to others that will want to follow his footstep in the future. Satoshi, has created Bitcoin and decided to stay anonymous for a good reason, so that there'll be no claim to ownership of Bitcoin by any individual, group or country, so that it'll be truly decentralized. I won't be surprised if he comes out and starts all over again, if he does, I hope that he'll keep going back to jail until he learns to stop

[Zoomic]

After reading the OP, I can only imagine the kind of punishment the real Satoshi Nakamoto would have gotten if he didn't hide his identity at that time when the government was seriously against Bitcoin and there were lots of haters promoting FUD in the minds of people willing to give Bitcoin a try. Craig is only sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years with a fine for claiming to be who he is not. He should have claimed to be Satoshi when the government was still very angry with Bitcoin  ,  his punishment now would definitely be very light compared to what he would have gotten then. I just hope he serves his punishment and repents.

[tabas]

This guy needs to stop getting attention in the public. He didn't win anything, if I were him he should have focused on his shitcoin, Bitcoin SV. I guess that he'd do more meaningful things if he just simply focused there and stopped suing the developers and minding his own business.

not all meaningful things can get him attention none of what he is doing is productive but he certainly made himself known and popular even if it is for the wrong reasons many opportunities have closed in on him but i am sure that he also created ones for himself because of this the internet is funny and sometimes instead of just ignoring someone who is clearly looking for attention they will continue to give it to him and please what he wants so at the end he still comes out of this with a little something

He's made some fork and shitcoin and that made him productive in there. That's what I am saying that with the wrong doings that he keeps on doing, he should stop and get himself a life by doing something else that can be meaningful to him and his community. By the way, I don't know if he's really got a community but with the looks and volume of his fork, it seems that there is but all silent and are just waiting for it to boom. I don't think it'll happen but we'll see that project eventually die and he only has to realize those things then.

I am assuming that this criminal has sponsors who are financing these lawsuits. Maybe they think he would win these cases so that they can benefit from the royalties or gains that might accrue from the Bitcoin whitepaper and other intellectual property. He has just been given a warning by the court, if he tries to come up with such baseless claim, he might end up in jail.

But the audacity of trying to impersonate  or be Satoshi Nakamoto is quite a headache.Meanwhile,why would anyone want to be so desperate and curious about the Satoshi personality,they said heavy is the head that wears a crown but the reverse is what's in this template completely.Everyone wants something good,but only few are willing to pay the price.

the thing is that if the law is against him I believe that definitely he will go to jail, its certain from my understanding, so in another way round, you have to know that if the judge's is compromise he will not be jail even when they know that he is guilty, but a process whereby the judgement is sincere and is not compromise justice can prevailed

He had a sponsor. The sponsor dumped him when he lost the Satoshi identity lawsuit in May, 2024

He had a history

Broke a non-compete clause, tried to steal his previous business partner's clients. Went into serious debt for the lawsuit costs
Made false Research & Development tax rebate claims as a way to make quick money to cover the lawsuit debt
The tax fraud was discovered by the Australian Tax Office
Attempted to retrospectively invent a R&D project - Bitcoin mining supercomputer, business partner in the USA
Successfully started a rumor that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, to embellish the fake R&D story
Fled to England to escape the tax scrutiny
Exercised his contact network. One of his contacts knows a guy who knows a billionaire looking for an investment opportunity
Between them, the billionaire and his two cronies created a deal - the billionaire paid the Australian tax debt in return for an opportunity to monetize Craig Wright's claim to be Satoshi
Wright assigned all his intellectual property in Bitcoin, and took a senior management role in the development of "Bitcoin" as a business opportunity for the billionaire
Wright forked BCH into BSV, claimed BSV is the real Bitcoin, and claimed BTC is corrupted
Wright launched lawsuits claiming some innovative new forms of copyright, and demanded that BTC should be shut down
All those lawsuits have now been struck out

The billionaire cut him off
He attempted a new lawsuit. With no money to pay lawyers, he used ChatGPT as his legal research
The new lawsuit breaches the injunctions imposed when he lost the other lawsuits - not permitted to claim ownership of the Bitcoin system
Convicted of contempt of court for breaching the anti-suit injunctions, 1 year sentence, suspended for 2 years

He is just a fucking scammer.

It's like a bad joke every year, lol. multiple clowns emerge claiming to be the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto. What's the motive behind this madness? Is it the fleeting fame, the social media high-fives, or just a desperate cry for attention?

Newsflash being a fake Satoshi won't get them any respect. In fact, it's a surefire way to earn a spot in the cryptocurrency hall of shame. A court sentence would be a fitting punishment for these impostors, serving as a deterrent to those who think they can pull off this stunt.

Imagine the real Satoshi sipping coffee watching the chaos unfoldand thinking, "These guys have no idea what they're getting themselves into." If Satoshi were around, Bitcoin would likely be shackled by government red tape stifling its growth and innovation.

So, to all the Faketoshis out there, listen up, stop clowning around and let the real visionaries shape the future of cryptocurrency. And to the real Satoshi, if you're out there, keep on smiling, your anonymity is still the best joke of all..lol

I am still trying to understand what he really meant by he's the one responsible for developing Bitcoin. If he's the one responsible for Bitcoin development, then why did he hide his face at the face stage when people are trying to guess who Satoshi really was? This man is a clown and many they need to give him a really sentence where he is going to relax and focus on his self. Also the media need to ask him where he kept the one million Bitcoin that was in his wallet. When you see someone trying to claim that they are another person, they are always very harsh with other people's opinions, wanting to attack if they have the power.

[Sanitough]

Finally, Craig Weight gets what he deserves. In fact, getting him in jail might not be enough, he should also be given counselling so that he will realize all his wrong doings in the past. I just hope that after his imprisonment, he will stop pretending being Satoshi because obviously the people are already so sick about that.

[Zanab247]

I guess this 6 months sentenced will teach other people lesson not to claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, because there are many people that came out to be Satoshi Nakamoto some years ago, but they failed to bring out the evidence that makes them to be the founder of BTC in the court for the world to know that they have find the BTC creator. With this sentence, it will put smile in the face of BTC developers, because it has been a big distraction to them for a stranger to claim to be founder of BTC, which the developers know that he is not the one because the real Satoshi Nakamoto have all the evidence to prove to be the BTC creator.

Even some judges know that, the real Satoshi Nakamoto will never come out publicly to claim that he or them is the BTC creator because he or them know what will follow in the court room because many governments are not happy the way the BTC is spreading to make people to value BTC more than their fiat money.
