He was sentenced to a 1 year suspended sentence so unfortunately - no jail time this time.
Any bets that he keeps up and eventually will have to serve time? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/19/craig-wright-man-who-falsely-claimed-to-be-bitcoin-creator-sentenced-for-continuing-to-sue-developers

Wright refused to show up in person.. so maybe the court was not imposing the actual prison because they were having trouble getting physical custody over Wright, and if Wright is still cooperating by attending by video conference, then the court might be reluctant to actually impose the prison sentence... He also ONLY has two weeks to pay his £145k fine.

I doubt that. They could just give actual prison time and then issue warrant/wanted notice either on country level or international level if faketoshi doesn't want to enter UK legally and got arrested voluntary.

Well hopefully he does. I wonder if not paying the new 250k fine will find him foul of it. One thing is I don't think he will ever set foot in the UK again, much like Australia. I wonder what country he is actually in in Asia. I think there's only a few countries in the world that don't have extradition treaties with the UK so he shouldn't be safe there. My main hope is that the Australian Tax Office will actually get their finger out and file a warrant for his arrest.

Looking at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/extradition-processes-and-review, UK have such treaties with 146 territories (where not all of them classified as country). There are fair amount of country is Asia which isn't listed on that webpage such as Cambodia and Japan.
