A British judge has issued a restraining order against Craig Wright, stating that he has brought legal "difficulties" to the Bitcoin community

According to Cointelegraph, British High Court judge Edward Mellor has issued a comprehensive injunction against computer scientist Craig Wright, who claims to be "Satoshi Nakamoto," prohibiting him from continuing to file defamation lawsuits. In the judgment on May 12th, Judge Mellor pointed out that Wright's repeated false statements and radical lawsuits have brought legal "difficulties" to individuals and developers in the Bitcoin community, and he has also attempted to "weaponize the legal system" to intimidate critics. Their lawsuits are often based on forged evidence, forcing others to spend a lot of time and money on legal defense. Previously, in 2021, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) sued Wright for long-term false claims of being the inventor of Bitcoin. Last March, a British court ruled that he had nothing to do with the creation of Bitcoin, and in December he was given a one-year probation for contempt of court. The ban marks the end of nearly a decade of legal drama, and Wright has also filed defamation lawsuits against Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and others.
