Craig Wright, the discredited “self-proclaimed” Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, faces another legal hurdle. According to multiple reports, a UK court has filed contempt of court charges against Wright. The filing is based on Wright’s £911 million ($1.1 billion) complaint he filed against Block’s Square Up Europe Limited.
The charge is the latest twist in the Craig Wright saga, which captured the imagination of the crypto community with his statement that he’s “the real Satoshi Nakamoto.” The High Court of England and Wales has already shut down Wright’s arguments.
The court subsequently mandated an injunction on Wright, therefore barring him from later suing the BTC developers. Wright, though, had other ideas and sued the developers. The court answered by charging Wright contempt of court penalties.
Wright’s Lawsuit Violates Latest Court Injunction
After being discredited by the UK court over his claims that he’s Satoshi, Wright clapped back and filed another case. Again, he targeted the Bitcoin core developers and claimed that the team misrepresented the BTC as the original Bitcoin. Wright argued that the true version of Bitcoin is the BSV.

The Block and the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) immediately responded that Wright’s latest complaint violates the injunction. At today’s court hearing, Wright witnessed the deliberation on Block and COPA’s contempt request.
Wright’s physical presence was also hotly debated, with Wright saying that he’s autistic and requesting that he be allowed to attend the hearing online. The court responded by asking Wright to provide more evidence about his condition.
But Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto?
For years, the crypto community has been captured by the story and mystery behind Satoshi Nakamoto. A few individuals have come forward claiming to be the developers of Bitcoin, one of them being Craig Wright. However, the High Court of England shot down Wright’s argument, adding that Wright had lied and falsified public documents.
In a statement, the presiding judge said Wright presented himself as clever. However, during the court proceedings, Wright lied extensively, the judge added. Immediately after the decision was handed down, Wright’s website now has a legal note saying that he’s not the true Satoshi Nakamoto.
Legal Trouble Coming For The “Real Satoshi”
Apart from Wright, a few people have been identified as the “real Satoshi.” There is, for example, HBO’s documentary last October, which unveiled Peter Todd as the real father of Bitcoin. Todd has earlier rejected HBO’s claim, and the documentary increased Todd’s safety concerns.
