Court blocks ‘Faketoshi’ Craig Wright’s appeal in Bitcoin creator case ⚖️

The UK Court of Appeal has dismissed Craig Wright's attempt to appeal a previous ruling in the case regarding the true identity of the Bitcoin creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The court pointed out that his appeal was based on several falsehoods, including reliance on fictitious authorities.

This decision was made after a thorough review of the appeal documentation, which indicated that Wright's assertions were not grounded in factual evidence. The court’s judgment reflects skepticism about Wright’s claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto, a longstanding controversy in the crypto community.

Wright, often referred to as 'Faketoshi' by critics, has faced ongoing legal challenges over his claim to have created Bitcoin. This latest ruling is a setback in his efforts to gain legal acknowledgment as the Bitcoin founder. The implications of this decision continue to underline the importance of proving factual authenticity in claims of identity within the crypto sphere.
