What is suspended sentence ?


Now this news will alarm other fraud people who had been trying to prove that they are fake Satoshi. This identity of Satoshi can be misused in multiple ways so it is important that some fraud person is not established as Satoshi. I think the bitcointalk community will be also having good role in exposing this fraud Satoshi.

Ahh what a beautiful thing.  I've actually spoken with him a few times over Twitter and he was always an arrogant prick who was constantly making shit up and things that are pretty easy to understand he's making up.  Kind of mind boggling really. 

I am shocked to hear that even on his way in to jail he's still trying to sue people, which I guess this guy is just never going to give up when it comes to fighting this fake battle.  Fake it until you make it , I guess..

For some people who already know bitcoin well, it does not have any effect and it will even be a joke that might be entertaining, but for some other ordinary people, they might give a different assessment because they think what is the benefit of him doing all this and being willing to be punished just because he wants to say that he is the creator of bitcoin. The influence of the media can sometimes have an effect on the general public who do not have the ability to recognize the truth.

Even though it did not have any effect on bitcoin after he made a noisy statement, it was a joke that was quite entertaining for me. So forget about it and keep focusing on collecting it so that we don't miss the best moment when bitcoin reaches its next ATH.

Media is there to create fuzz for us to listen and discuss.
 
It wouldn't change, and it's great when we are acknowledging the fact that we already know what would probably happen next. Or that we don't need to give our attention to such a matter.

There are many other ridiculous things that might be revealed and he will never stop making these claims to convince anyone. But this does not need to be thought about because he is full of entertainment and the question should be why the media always raises the issue. Is this correlation deliberately created to create a commotion or does he dare to pay the media to continue writing his ridiculous story. He made a statement as one of the people involved in the creation of bitcoin and he even started to dare to say he was Satoshi Nakamoto.

In fact, if he really is Satoshi Nakamoto, then I am sure he will not reveal his identity because it will make the level of security in his life more dangerous. That is what underlies me to consider him making jokes that are unreasonable and have no correlation with the creator of bitcoin.

The one with 145k is already mentioned in the OP, but I digress - he got what he deserved.
I think some people just don't change and stay the way they are. Fishy and non-sincere.

I think he got what he deserved for being a hypocrite and claiming who he was not.He has made claims that he was part of the team of professionals involved in the creation of the now well known decentralized digital currency,"BITCOIN".
Earlier this year, Wright lost a high-profile lawsuit against the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a nonprofit representing cryptocurrency firms.And  recently he faces one-year prison sentence that was suspended for two years and was ordered  to pay 145,000 British pounds in costs. That means he won't face prison unless he violates the court order again during that time.

A person can be recognized as a genius or a fool by the community / populace. Generally, this stigma is stuck to him / her and stays with him till his end.
I do think we agree on which side of the spectrum Craig is.

Craig Wright is one of our many entertainments during the emergence of bitcoin. So he will continue to claim himself Satoshi with all the nonsense, it can be said that Craig Wright has lost his shame. Not only once did he make demands on developers, but the results always returned to the point where he was nobody. Oddly enough, the media continues to raise his name and that will only make Craig Wright seem to be recognized.

Personality like Craig Wright might not easily changed especially that his goal has not been achieved yet. Most likely, after getting out from jail, he will try to loose a little but will still find ways on how to make things favor on him. Unfortunately, no matter what he’ll do, or no matter what kind of drama he will bring to the public, people won’t believe him anymore. But even though he failed on his attempt, but surely he gained the attention that he wanted to achieve from the people around.

That's how he makes bread - with the fuzz around his persona.
But I do think the punishment would stop him from doing so in the future, albeit, if the case would conclude in such a way.
Being a suspended case - don't think that's the end of his legend 

I guess this 6 months sentenced will teach other people lesson not to claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, because there are many people that came out to be Satoshi Nakamoto some years ago, but they failed to bring out the evidence that makes them to be the founder of BTC in the court for the world to know that they have find the BTC creator. With this sentence, it will put smile in the face of BTC developers, because it has been a big distraction to them for a stranger to claim to be founder of BTC, which the developers know that he is not the one because the real Satoshi Nakamoto have all the evidence to prove to be the BTC creator.

Even some judges know that, the real Satoshi Nakamoto will never come out publicly to claim that he or them is the BTC creator because he or them know what will follow in the court room because many governments are not happy the way the BTC is spreading to make people to value BTC more than their fiat money.

Finally, Craig Weight gets what he deserves. In fact, getting him in jail might not be enough, he should also be given counselling so that he will realize all his wrong doings in the past. I just hope that after his imprisonment, he will stop pretending being Satoshi because obviously the people are already so sick about that.

I am still trying to understand what he really meant by he's the one responsible for developing Bitcoin. If he's the one responsible for Bitcoin development, then why did he hide his face at the face stage when people are trying to guess who Satoshi really was? This man is a clown and many they need to give him a really sentence where he is going to relax and focus on his self. Also the media need to ask him where he kept the one million Bitcoin that was in his wallet. When you see someone trying to claim that they are another person, they are always very harsh with other people's opinions, wanting to attack if they have the power.

It's like a bad joke every year, lol. multiple clowns emerge claiming to be the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto. What's the motive behind this madness? Is it the fleeting fame, the social media high-fives, or just a desperate cry for attention?

Newsflash being a fake Satoshi won't get them any respect. In fact, it's a surefire way to earn a spot in the cryptocurrency hall of shame. A court sentence would be a fitting punishment for these impostors, serving as a deterrent to those who think they can pull off this stunt.

Imagine the real Satoshi sipping coffee watching the chaos unfoldand thinking, "These guys have no idea what they're getting themselves into." If Satoshi were around, Bitcoin would likely be shackled by government red tape stifling its growth and innovation.

So, to all the Faketoshis out there, listen up, stop clowning around and let the real visionaries shape the future of cryptocurrency. And to the real Satoshi, if you're out there, keep on smiling, your anonymity is still the best joke of all..lol

He had a sponsor. The sponsor dumped him when he lost the Satoshi identity lawsuit in May, 2024

He had a history

Broke a non-compete clause, tried to steal his previous business partner's clients. Went into serious debt for the lawsuit costs
Made false Research & Development tax rebate claims as a way to make quick money to cover the lawsuit debt
The tax fraud was discovered by the Australian Tax Office
Attempted to retrospectively invent a R&D project - Bitcoin mining supercomputer, business partner in the USA
Successfully started a rumor that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, to embellish the fake R&D story
Fled to England to escape the tax scrutiny
Exercised his contact network. One of his contacts knows a guy who knows a billionaire looking for an investment opportunity
Between them, the billionaire and his two cronies created a deal - the billionaire paid the Australian tax debt in return for an opportunity to monetize Craig Wright's claim to be Satoshi
Wright assigned all his intellectual property in Bitcoin, and took a senior management role in the development of "Bitcoin" as a business opportunity for the billionaire
Wright forked BCH into BSV, claimed BSV is the real Bitcoin, and claimed BTC is corrupted
Wright launched lawsuits claiming some innovative new forms of copyright, and demanded that BTC should be shut down
All those lawsuits have now been struck out

The billionaire cut him off
He attempted a new lawsuit. With no money to pay lawyers, he used ChatGPT as his legal research
The new lawsuit breaches the injunctions imposed when he lost the other lawsuits - not permitted to claim ownership of the Bitcoin system
Convicted of contempt of court for breaching the anti-suit injunctions, 1 year sentence, suspended for 2 years

the thing is that if the law is against him I believe that definitely he will go to jail, its certain from my understanding, so in another way round, you have to know that if the judge's is compromise he will not be jail even when they know that he is guilty, but a process whereby the judgement is sincere and is not compromise justice can prevailed

But the audacity of trying to impersonate  or be Satoshi Nakamoto is quite a headache.Meanwhile,why would anyone want to be so desperate and curious about the Satoshi personality,they said heavy is the head that wears a crown but the reverse is what's in this template completely.Everyone wants something good,but only few are willing to pay the price.

I am assuming that this criminal has sponsors who are financing these lawsuits. Maybe they think he would win these cases so that they can benefit from the royalties or gains that might accrue from the Bitcoin whitepaper and other intellectual property. He has just been given a warning by the court, if he tries to come up with such baseless claim, he might end up in jail.

He's made some fork and shitcoin and that made him productive in there. That's what I am saying that with the wrong doings that he keeps on doing, he should stop and get himself a life by doing something else that can be meaningful to him and his community. By the way, I don't know if he's really got a community but with the looks and volume of his fork, it seems that there is but all silent and are just waiting for it to boom. I don't think it'll happen but we'll see that project eventually die and he only has to realize those things then.

After reading the OP, I can only imagine the kind of punishment the real Satoshi Nakamoto would have gotten if he didn't hide his identity at that time when the government was seriously against Bitcoin and there were lots of haters promoting FUD in the minds of people willing to give Bitcoin a try. Craig is only sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years with a fine for claiming to be who he is not. He should have claimed to be Satoshi when the government was still very angry with Bitcoin  ,  his punishment now would definitely be very light compared to what he would have gotten then. I just hope he serves his punishment and repents.

About time that he's put in a place that is well deserved for people like him, let him cool off in jail, we'll see if a correctional facility will correct his character. He's lucky to get only a six month sentence, I think that he deserves to stay longer than that in jail as a deterant to others that will want to follow his footstep in the future. Satoshi, has created Bitcoin and decided to stay anonymous for a good reason, so that there'll be no claim to ownership of Bitcoin by any individual, group or country, so that it'll be truly decentralized. I won't be surprised if he comes out and starts all over again, if he does, I hope that he'll keep going back to jail until he learns to stop

i know this old man and he has tried to sue bitcoin developers several times and claim that he is the real satoshi. this old man is really crazy about claiming that he is satoshi, even i can say that the court is fed up with the nonsense he gave in court. none of his arguments were proven and he just claimed without any strong evidence, he sued many people without clear evidence, and this is the same as playing the court just because he is rich.

he deserves this punishment, and he should get a harsher punishment, even if it means banning him from being involved in things related to bitcoin on the basis of market misleading and baseless claims.

The conman won't give up, even when it is very obvious that he has not been successful with his agenda of spreading lies and deceiving his small followers. I wish he ends up in prison, many bitcoiners wish the same thing for the attack he has meted out to bitcoin developers or anyone who challenged his lies. It is a suspended sentence though and he will stay away from the U.K. for now, however, this is progress made.

I don't know if anyone has said it here already but we have a very popular saying in Nigeria and it explains Craig Wright's situation very well. The saying is, who the God's wants to kill, they first make him mad. In the case of Craig Wright, I am not inferring that he is going to be killed or die but that metaphorically speaking, his reputation and name is what is going to be dead by the time this is all over. And that is if it isn't over for him already. There is nothing for him to prove. If he claims he's Satoshi, it is very simple transfer some Bitcoin out of his wallet, then we will all believe him and apologize to him.

The maximum sentence for contempt of court is 2 years. The lawyers asked the judge for 2 years, not suspended. The judge chose 1 year, suspended for 2 years. It is rare for contempt sentences to be longer than 30 days, but this case was serious

Suspended sentence means that if he breaches the Judge's injunctions against Bitcoin-related lawsuits, he gets to serve the 1 year, he gets another contempt conviction with a longer sentence, and he has to serve both. If he stops now, then the injunctions are effective, he doesn't make any more fraudulent lawsuits. If he tries again, he gets his 1 year in prison, plus more prison time


Ludicrous conspiracy talk. Get real

The dude is mentally ill. He should be in a mental hospital instead of prison tbh. I ain’t no doctor but he might be schizophrenic. Obviously he built an alternative reality for himself and he lives in it. There, he is the inventor of bitcoin, thee satoshi nakamoto, god of math and cryptography, master scientist, lvl100 archmage, craig the white.

Or maybe I am wrong about all…

He is just a fucking scammer.

Either way I am glad he ain’t succeeding at whatever he has been doing.

Roger gives similar vibes too btw. Not as crazy though

Everyone is really just that waiting for someone who do able to move out those Satoshi known wallets for those coins to be transferred or simply being moved on which this will really be the only proof on what the community is wanting. Its been long time that this clown had been turned out to be a mockery into this entire space and even into those other faketoshis on  trying out to claim that they are indeed Satoshi but no one had proven out themselves to be that the real one. They've been asked to move out coins to back up their claims but all of them do end up on being a clown. How about on trying out to suspend or getting imprison into those faketoshis in all the list? 

This is a big clap back to his self that no one believes on everything he says. Hopefully he realize that when he is suspended to do any further more crazy actions regarding on his fake claims. Right now he became a big mockery in cryptocurrency scene so hopefully this is the end of his craziness and we see him stop claiming that he is the real Satossi Nakamoto.

What government do also leaves certain warnings to other people who planned to create a false claim that they are Satoshi Nakamoto to think about it since if they cannot provide any solid proof that can verify everything what they want to say then provably that they may also experience what that famous Faketoshi get.

This looks funny and what is the real reason behind him saying that he is the creator of bitcoin. Many clamps like this have appeared before but people will stop when the public starts to identify that he is not the creator of bitcoin and over time the issue will no longer grow. Craig Wright is trying to lie to the public and his clamp is not so basic and then what does he want to prove and how after being sentenced will he continue to try to convince the court and the public itself.

It is like a person who says that the treasure is his and maybe overall there is an advantage when he wins the case in court. But the question is what does Craig Wright expect who is too busy convincing the public that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

He isn't Satoshi Nakamoto and we all know it but he still tries to find loopholes and prove what's wrong, he tries it because there is so much to gain for him on the table. If he proves that he is Satoshi, then he will be able to claim rights on the ownership of Bitcoin and Blockchain technologies, he will force developers to fork and give him an early mined 1 million Bitcoins. In overall, he will have total control of Bitcoin.

I'd say that I'd love to see him in prison but I think that prison is not the right place for him. He has mental problems, that needs treatment, prison will only worsen his mentality. This man should be put on antipsychotic meds and should get the right treatment. He is so bad that he doesn't deserve treatment but I think it's humane.

Good Riddance!!!

The length that a man willing to go for greed is somehow amusing to see, to the point of claiming what does not belong to him. I'm not surprised for this case, there is a case where a family sued a man for winning a mega win lottery, although the story is quite biased for readers. That's why I see this Faketoshi case is another case of greed. He deserved that as a lesson so he would know when to stop his stupidity.

I see that filing lawsuit for fortune is a quite common practice nowadays, there is also someone who make it as a way of make a living, namely Jonathan Lee Riches.

What’s actually the big deal reporting developers after several warning yet no evidence, the fact he lied claiming someone else’s identity is strange. Satoshi had reasons staying anonymous and no one knows what exactly has happened, seeing someone with such thought and the end result is disgrace well, good for him besides he should serve the punishment as this stand as a warning for others including false documentary about Satoshi.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

He's eventually going to be found and made to serve his time. He can't hide forever.

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

Damn for the effort he makes to tell everyone he's Satoshi Nakamoto he might be the real

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.

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.

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.

That's actually true, if he was really satoshi Nakamoto, there would have been proof to back up his claims including making a transaction from his wallet containing his 1m bitcoin, as that will make it easy for people to believe him. Or he could have explained more technical aspect of bitcoin. but obviously he is claiming what he is not, and we all knows a proof of real satoshi nakamoto. The appearance of satoshi in bitcointalk forum here shows he was the real satoshi Nakamoto even without a physical appearance,  because he answered some difficult question which new developers could not answer or could not have known without him. and until today his messages are still very lively and important, which no one else would have answered such question if not him. There are signs to proof a real satoshi but not ranting and forcing to be what he is not.

If the person is someone else, not Craig Wright, I can feel interested in following it up, but it's a case about Craig Wright, who many times was proven as Faketoshi.

Any claim or lawsuit actions from Craig Wright with intention to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto, to sue Bitcoin developers, and more similar activities, no longer are interesting with me. You or we can not change Craig Wright, so let him be what he want to be, and move on by focusing on more important things in each of our personal life.

Updates from the COPA v Craig Wright trial

Another twist in the bizarre saga of this man. I can't believe he still hasn't accepted the court's decision and continues to sue those developers after everything. Will this finally put an end to his baseless claims and allow the developers to move on without this constant legal harassment or will it fail to deter him from further lawsuits?

He's not going to jail. It was a suspended sentence. He won't be spending a day in prison.

But, yeah, this decision of the court is indeed a breather to Bitcoin developers. Craig is being childish. He just wants to wreak havoc on the personal lives of people. He probably just wants to make their lives as uncomfortable as possible for not bending a knee to him, for not believing in his lies.

Something's seriously wrong with this man's brain. He certainly needs professional intervention. But the court doesn't have time for childish games.

id love to see him in prison, but he is not going.. he is given basically a warning shot, that if he repeats his offences or does anything criminal in UK jurisdiction, then he would defacto/by default have to serve 12 months in prison automatically plus any extra time added for the further crimes
however staying out of the UK means he can do crimes elsewhere and it not affect his UK suspended order

Jail for him, it sounds as a Fair de al, ay least the developers will be able to work without having that pain in the ass...

This is a importante lesson for all, here we learn how our acts have a consequence, and the law will get you if you try yo play a smart role without evidencie.

The courts have made it clear that Craig Wright is NOT Satoshi Nakamoto. I can't help but wonder what his endgame is. It's like he's determined to rewrite history even if it means dragging out legal battles he's already lost. But why keep fighting when it's so clear to most people that he's not the real creator of bitcoin?Is it all about ego, money or maybe even some deeper need for recognition? He's just hurting his own credibility by continuing with these lawsuits.

I disagree, he would totally deserve some jail time. The only reason he keeps claiming he's Satoshi is to get some kind of personal gain, probably putting pressure on the developers or something like that, so he's trying to jeopardize the whole system for some stupid gain. And he's also playing some dangerous game because Satoshi is a billionaire, if the wrong person believes him, well, not sure how that would end...

Why was he claiming and wanting so badly to be who he was not? It can be an offense to waste the courts time; I imagine it will be a bigger offence when it is now done repeatedly.

His story, when it becomes popular, will help as a warning to others who are having the idea to want to assume an identity that they are not when they know that they are not.

That is what some people desire because someone who is claiming what he does not know about the foundation cannot be able to defend it when it comes in terms of Defense so I believe that many of them who is claiming to become the founder of Bitcoin will not be able to make such utterance openly any longer.. you can see in this community that in so many times many people has claimed to become a satoshi nakamoto which will know quite well that they are not the one so if nobody resist them they will continue to claim that they are satoshi makamoto where is the founder of Bitcoin.

You actually misunderstood me, I meant he deserved the jail and the fine but also needs a therapy from being obviously delusional after the truth is now easily known by everyone.

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 will say the opposite: he actually does deserve that jail sentence. He will learn and adjust from that place. I'm sure a therapist can't even help him. I don't know what he plans to gain from all this, which he has been doing.

Maybe he just has enough finance to be causing those troubles and freedom to do that because anyone who doesn't have enough spare money can't continue to be suing developers over and over again and keep on losing, and yet they don't give up. One year of jail time is enough to set his brain straight.

The court has been so lenient on him. He has reigned for so long that I began to suspect a kind of conspiracy between him and the US government. Sentencing him is a kind of relief to my memory but I suspect that after 12 months CW will continue his frivolous claims. Maybe it is time we accept his behaviour to be part of the industry drama that will ensure for a long period of time (as long as he lives and bitcoin exists).

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.

Craig Wright is just a lier and just as the article proclaimed him already, reading through the news in the Link you will see how the Media already have a concluded name for Craig Wright, they persistently called him a liar, but the question is why should he be claiming to be Bitcoin creator in the first place and Satoshi is neither a person nor and acronyms.

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.

Maybe he has his own targets which he thinks he can't afford to leave unaccomplished and not to even talk of accepting a defeat, after knowing that the entire public eyes are set on him like awk spying on a chick from afar, he may also thought that persistent could help in some ways, but this is not what we can use any influence upon, the real and actual fact is that the line has been drawn and also visible for everyone to know why he is not Satoshi, I will say this is best for him.

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.

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.



Edit:

It was a suspended sentence.
