A UK judge issued an injunction against Craig Wright, stating that he has brought a legal "quagmire" to the Bitcoin community.

PANews, May 13th news, reported by Cointelegraph, that Edward Mellor, a judge of the High Court of England, issued a comprehensive injunction against Craig Wright, the computer scientist who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, prohibiting him from continuing to file defamation lawsuits. In the ruling on May 12th, Judge Mellor pointed out that Wright’s repeated false statements and aggressive litigation have brought legal “predicaments” to individuals and developers in the Bitcoin community, and he attempted to “weaponize the legal system” to intimidate critics. His lawsuits are often based on forged evidence, forcing others to spend a significant amount of time and money on legal defenses. Previously, in 2021, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) sued Wright for his long-standing false claims of being the inventor of Bitcoin. In March last year, a UK court ruled that he was not related to the creation of Bitcoin, and in December he received a one-year suspended sentence for contempt of court. This injunction marks the end of this nearly ten-year legal farce, and Wright has also launched defamation lawsuits against Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and others.
