Craig Steven Wright did not invent Bitcoin and is not the person behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, according to overwhelming evidence and a recent court ruling.
The key points are:
  • Wright claimed for years to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, but his claims were widely doubted and rejected by the cryptocurrency community and media.[1][3]
  • In March 2024, a British High Court judge ruled definitively that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto after a lengthy trial. The judge stated that documents Wright submitted as evidence were forgeries and that he had "lied to the court extensively and repeatedly."[2][3]
  • Wright's story began unraveling in 2015 when he failed to provide cryptographic proof that he controlled Satoshi's Bitcoin addresses, which would have been conclusive evidence.[5]
  • His claims were further undermined by investigations showing inconsistencies and lack of evidence linking him to the creation of Bitcoin.[4][5]
So in summary, Craig Steven Wright's claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous Bitcoin inventor, have been comprehensively debunked through lack of proof, investigations exposing his deception, and a court ruling confirming he is not the real Satoshi.[2][3]
