隨著賴特的比特幣身份被揭開，英國法院凍結了加密貨幣索賠

英國一家法院對 Craig Wright 的 600 萬英鎊（760 萬美元）資產下達凍結令，阻止他因虛假聲稱自己是比特幣的創造者而逃避法庭費用。該命令的批准是由於賴特在法院裁決揭穿他作為中本聰的說法後將資產轉移到英國境外。這引發了人們的擔憂，認為 Wright 試圖避免支付加密貨幣開放專利聯盟 (COPA) 在針對他的訴訟中產生的 847 萬美元費用。

British Court Freezes Craig Wright's Assets to Prevent Bitcoin Identity Evasion

英國法院凍結克雷格·賴特的資產以防止比特幣身分規避

In a landmark decision, a United Kingdom court has frozen £6 million ($7.6 million) in assets belonging to Craig Wright, the self-proclaimed creator of Bitcoin (BTC). The move aims to prevent Wright from evading court expenses stemming from a legal battle over his disputed identity as Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous founder of the cryptocurrency.

在一項具有里程碑意義的裁決中，英國法院凍結了自稱比特幣 (BTC) 創造者的克雷格·賴特 (Craig Wright) 的 600 萬英鎊（760 萬美元）資產。此舉旨在防止賴特逃避因加密貨幣匿名創始人中本聰（Satoshi Nakamoto）身份引發的法律糾紛而產生的法庭費用。

The court's ruling came after Wright transferred a portion of his assets outside the U.K. following a court verdict that refuted his claim to be Nakamoto. According to court documents, Wright moved shares of his London firm, RCJBR Holding, to a Singaporean entity on March 18. This prompted concerns among the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which initiated legal proceedings against Wright for falsely claiming ownership of Bitcoin's copyright.

在法院做出這項裁決之前，賴特在法院判決駁回了他的中本聰身分後，將其部分資產轉移到了英國境外。根據法庭文件，賴特於3 月18 日將其倫敦公司RCJBR Holding 的股份轉讓給新加坡實體。這引起了加密貨幣開放專利聯盟(COPA) 的擔憂，該聯盟對賴特發起了法律訴訟，指控賴特謊稱擁有比特幣版權。

"Understandably, that gave rise to serious concerns on COPA's part that Dr. Wright was implementing measures to seek to evade the costs and consequences of his loss at trial," wrote Judge James Mellor in the court document.

詹姆斯·梅勒法官在法庭文件中寫道：“可以理解的是，這引起了 COPA 方面的嚴重擔憂，即賴特博士正在採取措施，試圖逃避審判中敗訴的費用和後果。”

The court granted COPA's request for a worldwide freezing order, effectively immobilizing Wright's assets globally. The order seeks to cover COPA's total court expenses of $8,471,225 (£6,703,747.91).

法院批准了 COPA 的全球凍結令請求，有效地凍結了 Wright 在全球的資產。該命令旨在支付 COPA 的訴訟費用總額 8,471,225 美元（6,703,747.91 英鎊）。

COPA, founded in 2020, aims to promote the adoption and advancement of cryptocurrency technologies by eliminating patents as barriers to innovation. Its members include leading crypto companies such as Coinbase, Block, Meta, MicroStrategy, Kraken, Paradigm, Uniswap, and Worldcoin.

COPA 成立於 2020 年，旨在透過消除專利作為創新障礙，促進加密貨幣技術的採用和進步。其成員包括 Coinbase、Block、Meta、MicroStrategy、Kraken、Paradigm、Uniswap 和 Worldcoin 等領先的加密公司。

Wright, an Australian computer scientist, has repeatedly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, leveraging this assertion to stake copyright claims over the Bitcoin network. For instance, in January 2021, he demanded that two websites remove the Bitcoin white paper.

澳洲電腦科學家賴特多次聲稱自己是中本聰，並利用這項說法在比特幣網路上提出版權主張。例如，2021 年 1 月，他要求兩個網站刪除比特幣白皮書。

In April 2021, COPA initiated legal proceedings against Wright, disputing his claims to be Nakamoto and consequently his possession of Bitcoin's copyright. After hearing testimonies from early Bitcoin developers, including Martti Malmi, the court concluded on March 14, 2023, that the evidence overwhelmingly contradicted Wright's assertions.

2021 年 4 月，COPA 對 Wright 提起法律訴訟，質疑他聲稱自己是中本聰並因此擁有比特幣版權。在聽取了包括 Martti Malmi 在內的早期比特幣開發者的證詞後，法院於 2023 年 3 月 14 日得出結論，證據絕大多數與 Wright 的主張相矛盾。

Despite the court's ruling, Wright filed lawsuits in 2023 against 13 Bitcoin Core developers and companies, including Blockstream, Coinbase, and Block, alleging copyright infringement relating to the Bitcoin white paper, its file format, and database rights to the Bitcoin blockchain.

儘管法院做出了裁決，Wright 仍於2023 年對包括Blockstream、Coinbase 和Block 在內的13 家比特幣核心開發人員和公司提起訴訟，指控侵犯比特幣白皮書、其文件格式以及比特幣區塊鏈的資料庫權利。

The Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund responded to Wright's lawsuits, highlighting the growing trend of abusive legal actions against prominent Bitcoin contributors. Such lawsuits, the fund argues, deter development due to the associated time, stress, expenses, and legal risks.

比特幣法律辯護基金對賴特的訴訟做出了回應，突顯了針對著名比特幣貢獻者的濫用法律訴訟的趨勢不斷增長。該基金認為，此類訴訟會因為相關的時間、壓力、費用和法律風險而阻礙開發。

Wright had previously filed a United States copyright registration for the Bitcoin white paper and its code in 2019. However, the white paper is now subject to an MIT open-source license, allowing anyone to reuse and modify the code for any purpose. A court injunction would prevent Wright from making further copyright claims on the white paper.

賴特先前曾於 2019 年為比特幣白皮書及其程式碼在美國提交了版權註冊。不過，該白皮書現在受麻省理工學院開源許可證的約束，允許任何人出於任何目的重複使用和修改程式碼。法院禁令將阻止賴特對白皮書提出進一步的版權主張。
