A British judge found that Craig Wright "lied repeatedly and extensively" in a case related to Wright's claim that he is bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. "Dr. Wright's attempts to prove he was/is Satoshi Nakamoto represent a most serious abuse of this Court's process," Justice James Mellor of England's High Court of Justice wrote in a ruling published today.
Wright's evidence for being Nakamoto "is at best questionable or of very dubious relevance or entirely circumstantial and at worst, it is fabricated and/or based on documents I am satisfied have been forged on a grand scale by Dr. Wright," Mellor's ruling said.
Today's written ruling came two months after Mellor delivered an oral verdict in which he said the evidence shows Wright is not the person who created bitcoin. The written ruling said, "it is clear that Dr. Wright engaged in the deliberate production of false documents to support false claims and use the Courts as a vehicle for fraud. Despite acknowledging in this Trial that a few documents were inauthentic (generally blamed on others), he steadfastly refused to acknowledge any of the forged documents. Instead, he lied repeatedly and extensively in his attempts to deflect the allegations of forgery."

Billy Restey is a digital artist who runs a studio in Seattle. But after hours, he hunts for rare chunks of bitcoin. He does it for the thrill. βItβs like collecting Magic: The Gathering or PokΓ©mon cards,β says Restey. βItβs that excitement of, like, what if I catch something rare?β
In the same way a dollar is made up of 100 cents, one bitcoin is composed of 100 million satoshisβor sats, for short. But not all sats are made equal. Those produced in the year bitcoin was created are considered vintage, like a fine wine. Other coveted sats were part of transactions made by bitcoinβs inventor. Some correspond with a particular transaction milestone. These and various other properties make some sats more scarce than othersβand therefore more valuable. The very rarest can sell for tens of millions of times their face value; in April, a single sat, normally worth $0.0006, sold for $2.1 million.
