According to Bloomberg, the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a group of developers backed by Judge Edward Mellor, announced that Craig Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. In an oral judgment at the end of the trial, it was stated that Wright did not author the Bitcoin White Paper and was not the creator of the initial Bitcoin software. A spokesperson for the High Court confirmed the result, and a full written judgment will be published at a later date.
Wright has initiated numerous legal challenges worldwide in an attempt to confirm his claimed identity as Nakamoto, mostly unsuccessfully. COPA stated that this decision is a win for developers, the entire open source community, and the truth. A spokesperson for Wright said the Australian is not prepared to speak to anyone at this time.
