Man who falsely claimed to be bitcoin creator sentenced for continuing to sue developers

You all know who I am talking about. He is the most well known Faketoshi. I do not know what happened to Craig Wright for continuing suing bitcoin developers in the cases he has lost all the time. The court has said he is not Satoshi Nakamoto but he still continues to sue bitcoin developers. He has now been sentenced to 12 moths in prison.

Quote from: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/19/craig-wright-man-who-falsely-claimed-to-be-bitcoin-creator-sentenced-for-continuing-to-sue-developers

On Thursday Wright was sentenced for five counts of contempt of court. Sentencing him to 12 months in jail, suspended for two years and to pay £145,000 in costs within a fortnight, the court also struck out his enormous claim.

Edit:

It was a suspended sentence.

Oh yeah, we need to be seeing more of these, it’s been way too much I must say. People just come out of the blue and lay waste or ridicule the whole idea of Satoshi Nakamoto and the plans to stay anonymous through all the creation and springing the creation into mainstream.
This in a way would make these guys who claim to be what they are not would think twice before digging or coming out to lay claims. It’s terrible of them for real.

I thought as much because 12 months seems to be very massive for force claim or whatever. But my question is,.what was he suspended from actually?, Because I'm not sure of his current involvement/position in the development and maintenance of the Bitcoin. Well, it's not surprising that he isn't willing to back out of this dramatic claims, because the world is currently filled with different kind of people, including those that have no shame, like the faketoshi himself.

Personally, I believe the creator/founder of any project won't find it difficult to convince people that he/she owns it. I believe that the government are 100% certain that he isn't the one. They're as well looking for the true Satoshi for some reasons, so they aren't buying the whole Craig wright story.

Yeah, he is the real and one and only recognised faketoshi, and no one is dragging that one with him.

If he was the real Satoshi from the first time, when he started coming after Bitcoin developers, he could have made out reasonable facts that the public could have seen reason to believe; instead, what he has ended up doing is making a mockery of himself.

Merece — deserved as we call it on our dialect. Well, it's unfortunately, he deserved in prison and larger fines for all the trouble and wasting time he gave to these people. I wonder if there are still "fans" of him believing and encouraging him to become like this — having a big head.

Is there any legitimacy to his claims? Surely it could easily be proved.

Aside from the fact that he keeps suing people, I don't see why people give him relevance and I think that's why he sues them.
There are a certain type of people that ignoring them is the best way to deal with them and Craig Wright is one of such people. There are very easy ways to prove that he's Satoshi if he really was, but he has made all sorts of claims except he has not brought any proof.
Satoshi, who disappeared after creating Bitcoin, is not stupid. If he didn't try to reveal himself when Bitcoin was nothing, why would he want to be known now that Bitcoin has become mainstream?

Different people claim to be Satoshi, most of them try to do cheap scams while some just want the attention so the best way to deal with them is to avoid them completely.

To be frank he is not really as wealthy or even rich as he is acting, this is among the reason they knew he is not Satoshi because he can't even accessed the Satoshi address with a million+ bitcoins. He is far from being consider among the wealthiest bitcoiners.

I firstly heard about this guy was in 2015 end or mid of 2016 something (didn't remember the actual date) but the price of btc was not much high during that time and probably i wouldn't say Craig is poor perhaps holds bunch of bitcoin in couple of multiple different wallets till this date. Also, afaik craig was among those people much intrested in forking bsv years ago and here is the link said btc won't reach 100k ever, and what most i dont like about him is "a fragile ego" dude pretends to be satoshi and criticize bitcoin that bsv is the orginal vision of satoshi will fulfill the original promises being p2p cash system at a same time.

I didn't literally mean that Craig Wright is poor but in comparison with bitcoin whales he is, they do have millions of dollars thanks to HODLing bitcoin but he is not even among the list of the top bitcoin millionaires. This shows he is just being delusional since he can't even backup his false claims with a reasonable amount of net worth.

Shame it’s a suspended sentence but at least he’s been denied the right to appeal. I thought he might have been handed a custodial sentence. It’s another nail in his BS ‘I am Satoshi’ coffin. I can’t believe some people were duped by him & Calvin Ayre.

This guy needs to stop getting attention in the public. He didn't win anything, if I were him he should have focused on his shitcoin, Bitcoin SV. I guess that he'd do more meaningful things if he just simply focused there and stopped suing the developers and minding his own business.

not all meaningful things can get him attention none of what he is doing is productive but he certainly made himself known and popular even if it is for the wrong reasons many opportunities have closed in on him but i am sure that he also created ones for himself because of this the internet is funny and sometimes instead of just ignoring someone who is clearly looking for attention they will continue to give it to him and please what he wants so at the end he still comes out of this with a little something

I think this man doesn't just needs to be jailed and fined, rather just needs a therapist because he is just too delusional after all these years and being officially ruled out as Satoshi Nakamoto, for lying and forgery of his so called claims.

I think he has tormented developers enough and I guess if he is done with his jail terms and finally out, he might have learnt his lesson and not sue these dev again, after being warned never to again, when he lost the case of being Satoshi Nakamoto. Although he did continue suing these devs and now facing his punishment. This can be seen in the link shared by Op.

You’re so right mate, Craig Wright must consult a real medical practitioner so he will be given proper treatment if he’s into experiencing a mental disorder or an incapacity to think what is normal or not. Otherwise, no proper individual will consistently make a false claim, even if he’s fully aware that the people around are being skeptical on him.

However, putting him into jail might also be good for him. At least he will learn to stop from his improper actions or decisions. I just wish he’ll learn a big lesson after this, which I have also doubts about it.

I see no reason for claiming to be satoshi nakamoto while he is not and he tried the best to make sure that the world believed he is satoshi but on the other hand he failed because his claim werent back up with some facts that he is satoshi or even signed messages from his bitcoin address or make some transactions from his wallet to prove he is Satoshi, then fine, he could have won the battle, but instead fighting a blind battle with no facts to show he is nakamoto.
BTW, 12 months is actually very pitiable to him otherwise, country like ours he could be sentence for 6-10 years imprisonment for allegedly claiming what he is not, anyway that place would serve him as a resting place to enable him use his right senses.

I believe there are actually some reasons why Craig Wright continue to claim as the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin. Otherwise, he won’t give it a damn and just ignore it. Meanwhile, all I can see it is that Craig wants the power and legitimacy in the crypto world that’s why instead of paying tribute to the real Satoshi, he wants to steal the spotlight and tell the world that he is the one and only Satoshi Nakamoto.

It’s clear that all he want is financial incentives, that if people will come to believe him, he will gain an access to the large amount of bitcoin which is definitely billions of dollars worth today.

The louder the person screams, the more you would think he does it only to make a profit or reach a different target in the end.
Maybe he will change his ways after the sentence, but I doubt it.

Agreed.
It would produce less fuzz and at least some kind of result in the end.

That it should be, he should spend his time, money, and energy doing other things than that. He can still be a better guy with all of the fuzz that he's done to other people and the community. Well, that's just me trying to be concern to his welfare when it seems that he's stuck to this doing and he won't improve anymore. Because everyone knows that he's not and will never be the satoshi that we admire.

The nerve, right? But it will go nowhere and I guess that someday he'd just go tired with all of the BS that he does for himself, if he's got a lot of money doing these things, let him do it until he's got nothing as result of doing such.

It is clear what anyone's intentions who would claim to be satoshi are and it is simply just money. They might not have Satoshi's coins themselves but they are hoping that they get enough attention from people that they get some kind of money. They probably thought that there would be shows asking for him and sponsors calling him but instead he is going to jail.

He is definitely lucky and he could still come out and change his life after. I just hope he doesn't continue to fool people

It is really sad to see people trapped in their delusions and pride. This kind of action often ends up into self destruction since he can't accept the fact that he has been proven lying about the being the creator of Bitcoin. He is lucky that the execution of the decision of the court is suspended for 2 years and that he had more time to reflect his action and plan a strategy to get out of that decision.

I believe he needs to seek the help of medical experts to fix his delusions and put his thinking straight. Anywho, I am glad that the court is not blind to just follow what this person claimed to be and clearly see the deceit and lies laid in their eyes.

What I can say is that if Craig Wright claims he is Satoshi even though he is not, let him sign a message from the various Satoshi Bitcoin wallets holding the Satoshi Bitcoins.

Would't have to see his court case when the very system he supposedly invented gives him a very straightforward way of proving ownership of those genesis wallet private keys and he has refused to do so, but unfortunately, he doesn't own any key of those genesis wallet, likely probably will face jail time.

But Fakesatoshi scamamoto is very good at faking a story (or a story teller) about why Satoshi choose a Japanese name, instead of being english person when is not supposed to be a Japanese person.Why satoshi kept Japanese name by craig.
