BlockBeats News, May 13th: In the United Kingdom, High Court Judge Edward Mellor issued a comprehensive gag order against computer scientist Craig Wright, who claims to be "Satoshi Nakamoto," prohibiting him from continuing to bring defamation lawsuits. In the judgment on May 12th, Judge Mellor pointed out that Wright has repeatedly made false statements and engaged in aggressive litigation, causing legal "hardships" to individuals and developers in the Bitcoin community, and attempting to "weaponize the legal system" to intimidate critics. His lawsuits are often based on forged evidence, forcing others to spend a significant amount of time and money on legal defense.
Previously, in 2021, the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) sued Wright for long-standing false claims of being the Bitcoin creator. In March of last year, a UK court ruled that he had no connection to the creation of Bitcoin, and in December, he received a one-year suspended sentence for contempt of court. This gag order marks the end of this nearly decade-long legal farce. Wright has also initiated defamation lawsuits against Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, among others. (Cointelegraph)
