Some good news after so many wasted years. This man deserves more than this because he ruined the life of many people. He is the reason why Bitcoin.org had to remove Bitcoin Whitepaper for UK people, he abused the court's process for so many years. He is a fraudster who wanted to gain access to Satoshi's Bitcoin by getting approval from a judge and forcing Bitcoin Core developers to help him reclaim those million Bitcoins.
I hope not only his assets gets frozen but every asset that he held and moved on relative's names would get frozen too because it's cheating that people like him often do. Congrats Craig, you'll reap what you sow.
Topic: Craig Wright ASSETS FROZEN WORLDWIDE - page 3. (Read 407 times)
And about 3 months ago, UK court did same thing on case COPA against him[1]. I agree that he's (especially on cryptocurrency world), although i bet he manage to hide small amount of asset/money which unreachable by UK court.
Yes, I remember reading about this at that time, which raised some questions.- Can the court freeze his Bitcoin assets as well since it could be in a non-custodial wallet?
- When the court freezes rather than seizes an asset, under what conditions can it be unfrozen in this context?

Self-Proclaimed Bitcoin Creator Craig Wright Slapped With an Assets Freezing Order Over Libel Lawsuit
Daily Hodl Staff July 6, 2024 BITCOIN, REGULATORS
The High Court of the United Kingdom is freezing the assets of computer scientist and businessman Craig Wright, according to new legal documents.
The court issued a worldwide freezing order (WFO) upon the request of podcaster Peter McCormack with the aim of recouping his legal fees incurred when Wright sued him for defamation.
McCormack tells his 543,000 followers on the social media platform X that the order froze roughly 1.54 million British pounds ($1.9 million) worth of Wright’s assets, which could help him recoup his legal fees.
Says Justice James Mellor in his ruling,
“Wright was using the law of defamation … to silence anyone who dared to contend that Dr. Wright was not Satoshi or to question his claim… I was entirely satisfied that Mr. McCormack has a good arguable case (indeed a very strong case) for recovery of costs in the sum of £1.548 million.”
Wright proclaimed himself to be Satoshi Nakamoto for years. However, a judge ruled in March that there was overwhelming evidence that Wright is not actually Satoshi nor is he the author of the Bitcoin (BTC) white paper, the original thesis behind the digital asset.
Wright had sued McCormack, host of the What Bitcoin Did podcast, for libel after he called Wright a “fraud” when challenging the computer scientist’s claim that he was the pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
