克雷格·S·赖特 (Craig S. Wright) 是个骗子。

这不仅是我的观点，也是英国高等法院法官梅勒先生的观点，他今天裁定，这位自称的比特币发明者并不像他声称的那样。

在过去的五年里，澳大利亚公民赖特浪费了数百小时的法庭时间和数百万美元起诉一些质疑他主张的人。

本周四，就结束了。

在一个名为“加密货币开放专利联盟”（COPA）的加密货币公司联盟代表比特币社区进行了为期两个月的审判后，主审法官梅勒毫不含糊地表示，“证据压倒性”表明赖特一直在躺了很多年。

赖特的策略“绝对是对司法程序的歪曲和对法律体系的欺诈”，匿名比特币爱好者 Hodlonaut 表示，他有充分的理由庆祝今天的判决。

Hodlonaut 因其在 Twitter 上的卡通猫头像而闻名，五年前，赖特在推特上称这位 53 岁的计算机科学家是骗子和骗子后，被莱特以诽谤罪起诉。

这正是 COPA 试图通过对这位 53 岁计算机科学家提起首起攻击性案件来证明的内容，该案件寻求英国司法系统“否定声明”，证明赖特不是中本聪。

他们得到了结果：梅勒法官以一种极不寻常的举动，在案件结束后几秒钟内直接从法官席上做出了这一判决。

可以想象，鉴于中本聪的觊觎者给英国司法系统带来了大量的金钱和时间，梅勒现在将把赖特移交给皇家检察署进行刑事诉讼。

“这并不是克雷格在英国处理的唯一案件，”霍德洛诺特说，他提到了针对他自己、播客彼得·麦考马克和一群比特币开发者的诉讼。

包括涉及 Wright 对比特币白皮书、代码库、数据库权利和据称持有 110,000 个比特币 {{BTC}} 的“郁金香信托”的索赔的其他诉讼在内，Hodlonaut 估计 Wright 在英国已经提起了超过 50 起案件。以此树立榜样，因为这实在是太、太明目张胆了。”Hodlonaut 说道。

COPA 则表示，将把克雷格移送刑事诉讼，这可能涉及他多次作伪证。

梅勒法官表示，他将针对赖特提交伪造证据并不断撒谎的审判发布“相当长的书面判决”。

在赖特接受盘问期间出庭的霍德洛诺特预计这份文件将是“残酷的”。

“It hasn't always been easy, but I'm very happy that I stood my ground,” Hodlonaut said, adding that he feels vindicated though not surprised by the verdict. “Instead of breaking me they ended up handing me a chance to prove myself a better person. I’m a stronger person now than I was five years ago.”

In fact, Hodlonaut’s defamation case in Norway contributed to COPA’s winning argument — it was mentioned at least 41 times in COPA’s closing argument and was used as evidence throughout the trial to show Wright’s story has changed over the years. The case, which Hodlonaut won, is being appealed but, after today’s verdict, may now be thrown out.

“We’ll see,” Hodlonaut said. He estimated he has spent on the order of $3 million in legal fees fighting off Wright’s libel suits in the U.K. and his native Norway, some out of pocket but most funded by the Bitcoin community. “It’s been going on for five years now — that's five years where I've spent basically a full-time job defending myself,” he added. That’s on top of his actual job at The Bitcoin Advisor custody and security firm.

In many regards, these cases should never have been allowed. The judge overseeing Hodlonaut’s trial noted “The prevailing opinion … has been, and is, that Wright is unlikely to be Satoshi Nakamoto,” and that Hodlonaut “had sufficient factual grounds” to criticize Wright. While McCormack’s judge said Wright had given “deliberately false evidence” — though still awarded him “nominal damages” of £1.

Hodlonaut suggested Wright’s legal campaign was an attempt to “a precedent in the legal system” he could rely on, alongside patent filings, to show he was Satoshi because he didn’t have any actual evidence. “I mean, the only ‘out’ they gave me was for me to apologize and agree that he is definitely Satoshi Nakamoto — the problem for them was that people didn't fold,” he said.

Wright has his supporters — including investors in his fork of Bitcoin, known as Bitcoin SV (for “Satoshi’s Vision), and billionaire benefactor Calvin Ayre. But it’s long been apparent to everyone else that Wright was lying since he burst on the scene with circumstantial or fraudulent evidence trying to pass himself off as Satoshi Nakamoto, the still unknown inventor of Bitcoin.

Despite promising to give "extraordinary proof to an extraordinary claim,” Wright has been unable to provide any evidence he authored the Bitcoin white paper or holds Satoshi’s keys. Instead, over the years his lies have compounded, which allowed COPA to arm itself with countless examples of his “forgery on an industrial scale” with which to ensnare him.

举几个审判中出现的例子：原始白皮书是使用 OpenOffice 制作的，而 Wright 提交证据的版本使用的是 LaTeX 软件；

一份预白皮书文件包含对当时未发表的学术文章的引用，因为正如赖特所说，“研究人员共享”预发表的内容；

另一份文件显示了使用 ChatGPT 制作的特征。

“如果我伪造了那份文件，那就完美了，”赖特在交叉询问时说道，解决了对另一份伪造文件的担忧。

如果说有什么不同的话，那就是这句话准确地概括了赖特的观点是多么疯狂——他不仅是一个习惯性的说谎者，而且他认为自己是上帝赐予人类的礼物。

听到有人在法庭上做伪证，假装他们利用午休时间撰写专利和攻读两个博士学位，这几乎是很有趣的。

但是，考虑到赖特造成的难以估量的损失，很难对赖特产生任何同情。

尽管如此，霍德洛诺特说他并不讨厌赖特，尽管他确实发现“看到因果报应”得到了圆满的回报。

“让我经历这一切的原因是能够专注于我能控制的事情，而不是其他人的阴谋，”他说。

他从比特币社区获得的支持也有所帮助。

也就是说，如果他的上诉案件被驳回，除了花更多时间陪伴家人并更多地担任公司顾问之外，霍德洛瑙特表示可能还有“继续进攻的机会”。
