Court rules in favor of Roger Ver in Craig Wright's Satoshi Nakamoto defamation lawsuit

Bitcoin SV creator Craig Wright claimed that he created Bitcoin as Satoshi Nakamoto-Bitcoin Cash founder Roger Ver called him a fraud.

In April, Craig Wright invoked the wrath of the Bitcoin community by threatening legal action against a host of people claiming he was a fraud.

The astronautical feline denounced Wright as a fraud, and in response Craig Wright threatened legal action.

Other high-profile crypto advocates also solidified their positions, publicly calling Craig Wright a fraud for his unsubstantiated claims of being the person behind the Satoshi Nakamoto alias.

One other figurehead who called Wright a fraud was his former partner, the founder of Bitcoin Cash Roger Ver.

15, 2019, Roger Ver's website Bitcoin.com posted video, which in short, said Craig Wright fraudulently claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto.

Ver went a step further, publicly calling Wright a fraud on his personal Twitter on May 3, and goading Wright to sue him.

"The defamatory attacks by Roger Ver damaged my integrity within the United Kingdom's community of business people with whom I primarily deal. Being labelled a fraud has a repellent effect with regard to future business-if people view me as a fraud, my proficiency as a computer scientist as well as my life's work will be called into question. Moreover, no one would reasonably enter into business dealings with someone thought to be a fraud," said Wright in the court documents.

Even though Craig Wright had moved from Australia to the U.K. with his family in 2015, and intends to apply for British citizenship, the court deemed that Wright had a "Global" reputation in line with the global nature of Bitcoin.

Craig Wright is engaged in several other lawsuits hinging around his supposed status as Satoshi Nakamoto.
