- Craig Wright’s website still displays a legal notice stating he is not Bitcoin‘s creator, despite the court order requiring it expiring in January 2025.
- The notice, ordered by a UK court after Wright lost his case claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, details that he “lied to the Court extensively” and forged documents.
- Wright has removed the required notices from his social media accounts and has reportedly pivoted to running a pumpkin farm in Asia that faces accusations of “farming fraud.”
A legal notice on Craig Wright’s website declaring he is not Bitcoin’s creator remains visible nearly five months after a UK court order mandating its publication expired. The notice, which states Wright lied to the court and forged documents, was required to be displayed for six months following a July 16, 2024 court ruling where Wright failed to prove he was Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator.
While the website notice persists beyond its January 16, 2025 expiration date, Wright has removed similar required notices from his X and Slack channels, which were mandated for a three-month period, as confirmed on social media.
Court Findings and Legal Requirements
The prominently displayed notice on Wright’s website states: “The Court found that Dr Wright ‘lied to the Court extensively and repeatedly’ in his evidence and that he attempted to create a false narrative by forging documents ‘on a grand scale’ and presenting them in evidence.”
In addition to the public notices, the court barred Wright from initiating any further legal proceedings on the matter and referred him to the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service to investigate potential perjury charges. He was also ordered to pay £225,000 (approximately $290,000) in legal costs related to his appeals as of March 2024.
From Crypto Claims to Agriculture
Following these legal setbacks, Wright appears to have shifted focus to agricultural pursuits. Reports indicate he is now involved in establishing a pumpkin farm in Asia, though this venture has already attracted controversy with accusations of “farming fraud.”
Whether this agricultural endeavor will prove profitable enough to cover Wright’s substantial legal obligations remains uncertain. The pivot represents a significant departure from his previous focus on cryptocurrency-related activities and claims.
Wright’s continued display of the legal notice on his website, despite no longer being required to do so by court order, stands as an unusual epilogue to a high-profile legal battle that decisively rejected his claims to be the creator of Bitcoin.
