In a remote hearing today, a judge said that “Cøbra,” the pseudonymous operator of Bitcoin.org, must display a notice on his website about the judgment, pay at least £35,000 ($48,600) in legal costs and remove the whitepaper from his site. Cøbra lost the case through a default judgment; he mounted no defense to preserve his pseudonymity.

This is how CSW works he pecks away at official or pseudo official things that will name him as Satoshi and then claim that as evidence that he is. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a certificate for a star named "Satoshi" somewhere next to his suspicious law cert.
I think his game plan is clear.
He wants to make a legal claim to the fact he is "Satoshi", and then he will have the court issue an order that the BTC (and BCH and BSV devs) make a change to the code that allows him to access the keys to the "Satoshi coins" on his list.
He got a lot of money from his investment group on the promise that he was Satoshi. He was supposed to prove it by 2020 demonstrating that he had access to the million or so bitcoins owned by Satoshi.
I assume that he's able to still stay legally compliant with his contract as long as he "proves" that he is Satoshi. Everyone's assumption when first hearing about it was that he had all of those bitcoins and that they were locked until 2020 and that he would then sell it. Those that actually believed his story anyway.
