Man who falsely claimed to be bitcoin creator sentenced for continuing to sue developers
You all know who I am talking about. He is the most well known Faketoshi. I do not know what happened to Craig Wright for continuing suing bitcoin developers in the cases he has lost all the time. The court has said he is not Satoshi Nakamoto but he still continues to sue bitcoin developers. He has now been sentenced to 12 moths in prison.
On Thursday Wright was sentenced for five counts of contempt of court. Sentencing him to 12 months in jail, suspended for two years and to pay £145,000 in costs within a fortnight, the court also struck out his enormous claim.
Edit:
It was a suspended sentence.
The length that a man willing to go for greed is somehow amusing to see, to the point of claiming what does not belong to him. I'm not surprised for this case, there is a case where a family
sued a man for winning a mega win lottery, that's why I see this Faketoshi case is another case of greed. although the story is quite biased for readers. He deserved that as a lesson so he would know when to stop his stupidity.
I see that filing lawsuit for fortune is a quite common practice nowadays, there is also someone who make it as a way of make a living, namely
Jonathan Lee Riches.
