Satoshi Nakamoto is done! The UK High Court rules "prohibit further use of the name Satoshi Nakamoto": the lawsuit seriously affects encryption innovation.

Satoshi Craig Wright was recently banned by the British High Court from participating in the lawsuit in Satoshi Nakamoto's name, and refuted Satoshi Ausaki's abuse of lawsuits over the past 5 years to crack down on crypto startups, causing difficult losses to the industry (Synopsis: Satoshi Ausaki is miserable!) British prosecutors are considering charges of forgery, issuing arrest warrants, and global assets have been frozen) (Background supplement: judge ruling: Satoshi Ausmoto "is not Satoshi Nakamoto" nor the author of the Bitcoin white paper, key evidence revealed) Australian computer scientist Craig Wright has claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin since 2016, but has been repeatedly lost because he has not been able to provide substantive evidence, and is nicknamed "Satoshi Ausaki" by the community. The latest UK High Court decision prevents him from pursuing any lawsuits over Bitcoin, putting an end to the protracted Bitcoin founder's case. The key turning point came on May 12, 2025, when the UK High Court issued a three-year ordinary civil restraining order against Wright, prohibiting him from initiating new proceedings without permission. This is in response to a complaint by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which accused Wright of using legal means to intimidate its members. In his verdict, Judge Love J denounced Wright's "weaponization" of the law, creating legal "hell" for critics through falsification of evidence and unequal litigation to support his false Satoshi identity. The judge wrote: "It is clear that Dr. Wright has had substantial financial backing from the outset and that his defamation action is deliberate unequal battles." It adds that its strategy is "part of a deliberate strategy that Dr. Wright and his supporters are trying to establish [Dr. Wright is Satoshi] proposition through unequal contests." Impacting Industrial Innovation and Community Counteraction Wright's legal actions have had a "chilling effect" on cryptocurrency innovation. Judge Mellor has noted that their actions "not only affect the individuals he is suing, they also cause significant disruption to innovation in an important technology industry." COPA's counteraction, which aims to protect the open source community from nuisances, underscores the importance of a spirit of collaboration. Wright also undermined the credibility of his claims by allegedly forging and tampering with documents in litigation. The farce surrounding Satoshi Nakamoto's identity has negatively impacted the reputation of Bitcoin-related projects and the crypto market as a whole. Past court defeats Craig Wright's claim to be the creator of Bitcoin has sparked a long and hugely controversial debate in the cryptocurrency and legal communities. Prior to the latest verdict, Wright had been repeatedly defeated in a UK court: in March 2024, the court ruled that he was not the author of the Bitcoin white paper and had not created Bitcoin; In July of the same year, he was forced to post a disclaimer on his website, denying that he was Satoshi Nakamoto; In December, he was given a suspended sentence for contempt of court. Even so, Wright filed a lawsuit against a number of prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space, and his legal front extended to the United States and resulted in partial favorable judgments. Outlook for the future under the restraining order The restraining order was a major setback for Wright and a relief to those affected by his lawsuit. Although the court ordered Wright to publish a notice admitting to a large number of lies (the order expired in January 2025), there are reports that the notice is still displayed on its website. Wright has recently turned to agriculture. This judgment provides a reference for future legal responses to similar identity disputes, and the crypto community has never stopped questioning its claims. The ruling of the British court has drawn an important dividing line in the legal battlefield of the "Satoshi Nakamoto" identity dispute. It is not only a warning against the abuse of judicial resources, but also a reminder once again of the balance between individual claims and legal responsibilities in the field of scientific and technological innovation. The follow-up impact of this case and how the crypto industry responds to future legal challenges will continue to be the focus of attention from all walks of life.
