Australian scientist Craig Wright, who claims to be the inventor of Bitcoin 'Satoshi Nakamoto', has been sentenced to one year in prison, which can be suspended for two years, because he ignored a court injunction and continued to impersonate Satoshi Nakamoto to sue others, resulting in a ruling from the High Court in London that he was in 'contempt of court'.

Judge James Mellor found that 54-year-old Craig Wright, known as 'Faketoshi', repeatedly lied about being the real Satoshi Nakamoto, claiming to own intellectual property rights related to Bitcoin. However, the High Court in the UK discovered that 'Faketoshi' lied about his role, massively creating poor fake statements and documents, and used a bunch of incomprehensible technical jargon to mislead.

In July this year, the court ordered Craig Wright to stop claiming he is Satoshi Nakamoto and prohibited him from using this as a 'weapon' to take legal action against others. However, in October this year, he violated the court's order and launched a lawsuit against cryptocurrency developers regarding the Bitcoin intellectual property rights he claimed to own, seeking over £90 billion ($1.12 trillion) in damages.
