克雷格·S·賴特 (Craig S. Wright) 是個騙子。

這不僅是我的觀點，也是英國高等法院法官梅勒先生的觀點，他今天裁定，這位自稱的比特幣發明者并不像他聲稱的那樣。

在過去的五年里，澳大利亞公民賴特浪費了數百小時的法庭時間和數百萬美元起訴一些質疑他主張的人。

本周四，就結束了。

在一個名為“加密貨幣開放專利聯盟”（COPA）的加密貨幣公司聯盟代表比特幣社區進行了為期兩個月的審判后，主審法官梅勒毫不含糊地表示，“證據壓倒性”表明賴特一直在躺了很多年。

賴特的策略“絕對是對司法程序的歪曲和對法律體系的欺詐”，匿名比特幣愛好者 Hodlonaut 表示，他有充分的理由慶祝今天的判決。

Hodlonaut 因其在 Twitter 上的卡通貓頭像而聞名，五年前，賴特在推特上稱這位 53 歲的計算機科學家是騙子和騙子后，被萊特以誹謗罪起訴。

觀點

這正是 COPA 試圖通過對這位 53 歲計算機科學家提起首起攻擊性案件來證明的內容，該案件尋求英國司法系統“否定聲明”，證明賴特不是中本聰。

他們得到了結果：梅勒法官以一種極不尋常的舉動，在案件結束后幾秒鐘內直接從法官席上做出了這一判決。

可以想象，鑒于中本聰的覬覦者給英國司法系統帶來了大量的金錢和時間，梅勒現在將把賴特移交給皇家檢察署進行刑事訴訟。

“這并不是克雷格在英國處理的唯一案件，”霍德洛諾特說，他提到了針對他自己、播客彼得·麥考馬克和一群比特幣開發者的訴訟。

包括涉及 Wright 對比特幣白皮書、代碼庫、數據庫權利和據稱持有 110,000 個比特幣 {{BTC}} 的“郁金香信托”的索賠的其他訴訟在內，Hodlonaut 估計 Wright 在英國已經提起了超過 50 起案件。以此樹立榜樣，因為這實在是太、太明目張膽了。”Hodlonaut 說道。

COPA 則表示，將把克雷格移送刑事訴訟，這可能涉及他多次作偽證。

梅勒法官表示，他將針對賴特提交偽造證據并不斷撒謊的審判發布“相當長的書面判決”。

在賴特接受盤問期間出庭的霍德洛諾特預計這份文件將是“殘酷的”。

“It hasn't always been easy, but I'm very happy that I stood my ground,” Hodlonaut said, adding that he feels vindicated though not surprised by the verdict. “Instead of breaking me they ended up handing me a chance to prove myself a better person. I’m a stronger person now than I was five years ago.”

In fact, Hodlonaut’s defamation case in Norway contributed to COPA’s winning argument — it was mentioned at least 41 times in COPA’s closing argument and was used as evidence throughout the trial to show Wright’s story has changed over the years. The case, which Hodlonaut won, is being appealed but, after today’s verdict, may now be thrown out.

“We’ll see,” Hodlonaut said. He estimated he has spent on the order of $3 million in legal fees fighting off Wright’s libel suits in the U.K. and his native Norway, some out of pocket but most funded by the Bitcoin community. “It’s been going on for five years now — that's five years where I've spent basically a full-time job defending myself,” he added. That’s on top of his actual job at The Bitcoin Advisor custody and security firm.

In many regards, these cases should never have been allowed. The judge overseeing Hodlonaut’s trial noted “The prevailing opinion … has been, and is, that Wright is unlikely to be Satoshi Nakamoto,” and that Hodlonaut “had sufficient factual grounds” to criticize Wright. While McCormack’s judge said Wright had given “deliberately false evidence” — though still awarded him “nominal damages” of ￡1.

Hodlonaut suggested Wright’s legal campaign was an attempt to “a precedent in the legal system” he could rely on, alongside patent filings, to show he was Satoshi because he didn’t have any actual evidence. “I mean, the only ‘out’ they gave me was for me to apologize and agree that he is definitely Satoshi Nakamoto — the problem for them was that people didn't fold,” he said.

Wright has his supporters — including investors in his fork of Bitcoin, known as Bitcoin SV (for “Satoshi’s Vision), and billionaire benefactor Calvin Ayre. But it’s long been apparent to everyone else that Wright was lying since he burst on the scene with circumstantial or fraudulent evidence trying to pass himself off as Satoshi Nakamoto, the still unknown inventor of Bitcoin.

Despite promising to give "extraordinary proof to an extraordinary claim,” Wright has been unable to provide any evidence he authored the Bitcoin white paper or holds Satoshi’s keys. Instead, over the years his lies have compounded, which allowed COPA to arm itself with countless examples of his “forgery on an industrial scale” with which to ensnare him.

舉幾個審判中出現的例子：原始白皮書是使用 OpenOffice 制作的，而 Wright 提交證據的版本使用的是 LaTeX 軟件；

一份預白皮書文件包含對當時未發表的學術文章的引用，因為正如賴特所說，“研究人員共享”預發表的內容；

另一份文件顯示了使用 ChatGPT 制作的特征。

“如果我偽造了那份文件，那就完美了，”賴特在交叉詢問時說道，解決了對另一份偽造文件的擔憂。

如果說有什么不同的話，那就是這句話準確地概括了賴特的觀點是多么瘋狂——他不僅是一個習慣性的說謊者，而且他認為自己是上帝賜予人類的禮物。

聽到有人在法庭上做偽證，假裝他們利用午休時間撰寫專利和攻讀兩個博士學位，這幾乎是很有趣的。

但是，考慮到賴特造成的難以估量的損失，很難對賴特產生任何同情。

盡管如此，霍德洛諾特說他并不討厭賴特，盡管他確實發現“看到因果報應”得到了圓滿的回報。

“讓我經歷這一切的原因是能夠專注于我能控制的事情，而不是其他人的陰謀，”他說。

他從比特幣社區獲得的支持也有所幫助。

也就是說，如果他的上訴案件被駁回，除了花更多時間陪伴家人并更多地擔任公司顧問之外，霍德洛瑙特表示可能還有“繼續進攻的機會”。

“這個領域有很多人可能會產生一些后果，”霍德洛瑙特說。
