    COPA v. Craig Wright ruling is out, and Wright repeatedly lied to the court
    According to BitMEX Research, the COPA (Crypto Open Patent Alliance) case against Craig Wright has now been announced. In the verdict, Craig Wright is far less clever than he thinks he is. In his written testimony and in days of oral testimony during cross-examination, it is completely clear that Wright lied extensively and repeatedly to the court. Most of his lies were related to documents he forged that were intended to support his claims. All of his lies and forged documents were intended to support his biggest lie: his claim that he was Satoshi Nakamoto. The real situation is much simpler. However, because Wright has lied so many times over the years, in some ways it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what actually happened. These difficulties do not affect the fact that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. In terms of the evidence that allegedly supports his claims, it is at best questionable or very doubtful, or completely circumstantial, and at worst, it is fabricated and/or based on documents that are believed to be massive forgeries by Wright. These fabrications and forgeries were revealed in the evidence received at trial. As such, this judgment contains a wealth of technical and other details intended to reveal the true scale of his false claims to prove that he is/was Satoshi Nakamoto. These details were laid out in the detailed written closing arguments prepared by COPA and the developers, and further emphasized in their oral closing arguments.

    Ripple's CTO Dismisses Claims of Craig Wright Being Bitcoin's Creator
    According to U.Today, a recent debate has been sparked by Ripple's Chief Technology Officer (CTO), David Schwartz, over the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin. The controversy began when a well-known Bitcoin community member, who goes by the alias 'Ryuushi', proposed that despite recent legal challenges, Craig Wright remains the most likely candidate to be Nakamoto. Schwartz, however, dismissed this claim as 'complete nonsense', pointing out Wright's inability to provide definitive proof of his identity as Nakamoto during the trial. He also noted that other individuals, including himself, had no reason to falsely claim to be the author of Bitcoin. Schwartz's rebuttal has reignited speculation about his own possible connection to Nakamoto. Some theorists, citing his extensive background in cryptography dating back to the early days of the field, have suggested him as a potential candidate for Nakamoto's identity. His involvement in pioneering patents related to distributed ledger technology has further fueled this speculation. Despite these theories, Schwartz has consistently denied any association with Nakamoto, asserting that he is solely an architect of XRP Ledger, separate from Bitcoin's genesis. The debate over Wright's claims to the title of Bitcoin's creator continues. Despite Wright's legal struggles, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) recently achieved a victory when a judge ruled against Wright's claim that he is Nakamoto. COPA, an organization committed to protecting the open-source nature of cryptocurrencies, is seeking further injunctions to prevent Wright from making additional claims and pursuing litigation in the crypto community.
