Extract from the transcript of the COPA v Wright trial on March 14, 2024, after Justice James Mellor ruled that Craig Wright is not Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
In a recent trial, the U.K. Judicial Office has released an excerpt from the transcript that took place during the COPA v Wright trial on March 14, 2024. In this trial, Justice James Mellor made the ruling that Craig Wright is not the creator of Bitcoin, also known as Satoshi Nakamoto. This ruling has sparked much discussion and speculation in the cryptocurrency community. The evidence presented in this trial has led the judge to reach a significant and impactful conclusion.
I would like to express my gratitude to all parties involved for their written and oral arguments, which have been very beneficial in reaching this decision. I must state that this ruling will require me to draft a detailed written judgment, which will be released in due course. To those inquiring about the expected date of the publication of this judgment, it will be available when it’s completed and not a moment before.
After extensive consideration of the overwhelming evidence and submissions presented in this trial, it is my firm belief that certain pronouncements need to be made to bring justice between the concerned parties. Therefore, I will be setting forth the following declarations in my written judgment, and they will be duly justified in it:
Firstly, it has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt that Dr. Craig Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.
Secondly, it has been established that Dr. Wright is not the individual who adopted or operated under the alias “Satoshi Nakamoto” between 2008 to 2011.
Thirdly and most importantly, it has been confirmed that Dr. Craig Wright is not the person who created the innovative and widely used Bitcoin System.
Lastly, it has been conclusively proven that Dr. Wright did not author the initial versions of the highly successful and sought-after Bitcoin software.
Any additional relief requested by the parties involved will be addressed and dealt with in my written judgment, which will be released in due course.
I would also like to mention that I am granting an extension of time for filing an appellant’s notice. This extension will be effective till 21 days after the form of order hearing, which will be scheduled after the release of the written judgment. I urge all parties to come to a mutual agreement on the terms of the order, acknowledging and implementing the declarations I have made in this ruling.
This ruling will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the cryptocurrency community, and I urge everyone involved to respect the decision and move forward with it. Let us all hope that this argumentative issue is put to rest and that we can continue to strive and advance in this ever-changing industry.
