Justice James Mellor:

"Dr. Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper.

Second, Dr. Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" in the period 2008 to 2011.

Third, Dr. Wright is not the person who created the Bitcoin System.

And, fourth, he is not the author of the initial versions of the Bitcoin software."

Full written judgment still to come.

@molly0xfff What’s the background on this case? Why is a judge ruling that someone is not Satoshi Nakamoto?

@littlenemoins @ramsey @molly0xfff I love the part about using ChatGPT to write documents which were supposedly from before ChatGPT existed. Crypto is just the gift that keeps giving. @molly0xfff couldn't make up anything this good.

@soaproot @littlenemoins @molly0xfff I love how they were able to show he used LaTeX to create his versions of the “original” documents, while the original documents were created in OpenOffice.
