Craig Wright's claim of inventing Bitcoin may get him arrested for perjury

Good riddance is all I want to say. We really need fewer liars in this world.

Hopefully they do press forward and he is arrested. Abuse of the legal system should be punished.

When Wright first claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin, I didn&#x27;t believe him only because the creator of Bitcoin was a very elusive person(s), and Wright is loud; I didn&#x27;t need to look in to it further.<p>Welp, the courts did.<p>My best guess is Bitcoin was created by an Australian guy living in Japan and he no longer with us.

Good, this guy is totally evil and malicious. He has plenty of capacity to pay for the damage he has caused people who actually did contribute to bitcoin.

Funny, the title of his commandeered website is &quot;Coming soon&quot;.<p>What&#x27;s coming soon?<p>I wonder how the BSV guys are taking this... they were almost as cultish as Hexicans with Richard Heart (who confronted Craig Wright about this year ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mQoyaguvGdQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=mQoyaguvGdQ</a> )

Well deserved.<p>Hopefully more patent trolls get the same treatment.

Couldn&#x27;t have happened to a nicer guy

His site now has a notice about the court case and denies he is Satoshi [0]. I&#x27;ve saved a copy for posterity at [1].<p>[0]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;craigwright.net&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;craigwright.net&#x2F;</a><p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;5yHiCLr.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;5yHiCLr.png</a>

Well he got his butt out of the country as soon as the initial judgement came down and hasn&#x27;t returned since.<p>More positive effects, <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;CobraBitcoin&#x2F;status&#x2F;1813271585882505272" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;CobraBitcoin&#x2F;status&#x2F;1813271585882505272</a><p>It&#x27;s good to be here but its unfortunate that it required spending more than 10 million pounds and took several years of several people&#x27;s lives to get here.<p>... and counting, considering that he&#x27;s announced that he will appeal.

For a guy claiming to have invented bitcoin, is he at least an expert on crypto?

There are a lot of false and exaggerated claims in the world. Why are we bothering to spend so much time on this in court?
