Craig Wright Skips Court Hearing Over Lack of Travel Resources

克雷格·賴特因缺乏旅遊資源而缺席法庭聽證會

Australian computer scientist Craig Wright skipped his UK court hearing on Wednesday due to an alleged lack of resources to travel. The self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor is facing a contempt of court case over his lawsuit against Bitcoin Core developers.

澳洲電腦科學家克雷格·賴特因涉嫌缺乏旅行資源而缺席了周三在英國的法庭聽證會。這位自稱的比特幣發明者因對比特幣核心開發者提起訴訟而面臨藐視法庭案件。

According to hearing attendants, Wright didn’t appear in court “due to lack of means for travel.” The self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto informed the participants via email he would not be attending the hearing.

據聽證會參加者稱，賴特「由於缺乏出行方式」沒有出庭。自稱中本聰的人透過電子郵件通知與會者，他將不會參加聽證會。

“I am unable to attend the hearing on Friday 19 December 2019 due to lack of means for travel,” Wright wrote in an email.

「由於缺乏出行方式，我無法參加 2019 年 12 月 19 日星期五的聽證會，」賴特在一封電子郵件中寫道。

In October, the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) filed a contempt application form in response to Wright’s $1.2 billion lawsuit against Bitcoin Core Developers and Jack Dorsey’s Square Up European Ltd.

10 月，加密貨幣開放專利聯盟 (COPA) 提交了一份藐視法庭申請表，以回應 Wright 對比特幣核心開發人員和 Jack Dorsey 的 Square Up Europe Ltd 提起的 12 億美元訴訟。

The application argues that the computer scientist breached the injunction resulting from the main Bitcoin Authorship case. The injunction ordered Wright to admit he was not Satoshi Nakamoto and cease any further legal action related to the disproved authorship claims.

申請書稱，電腦科學家違反了主要比特幣作者身分案件所產生的禁令。禁令命令賴特承認他不是中本聰，並停止與被反駁的作者身份主張相關的任何進一步的法律行動。

During an early November court hearing, the fake Satoshi denied COPA’s accusations, arguing that his latest legal battle was “fundamentally different” from an identity claim as it was based on his “contributions to the development, maintenance, and extension of the Bitcoin Blockchain.”

在11 月初的法庭聽證會上，假中本聰否認了COPA 的指控，稱他最近的法律鬥爭與身份主張“根本不同”，因為它是基於他“對比特幣區塊鏈的開發、維護和擴展的貢獻”。 ”

Based on this, Wright, who is representing himself in the lawsuit, asserted not to be in contempt but added that he was willing to amend his case if the court found him to be breaching the court’s injunction.

基於此，在訴訟中代表自己的賴特堅稱自己沒有藐視法庭，但補充說，如果法院發現他違反了法院的禁令，他願意修改案件。

For context, in the lawsuit, the self-proclaimed Bitcoin author claimed that Bitcoin Core developers and all affiliated parties have misrepresented BTC as the original Bitcoin, adding that Bitcoin SV (BSV) is the real version.

就背景而言，在訴訟中，這位自稱比特幣作者的人聲稱，Bitcoin Core 開發者和所有關聯方將 BTC 歪曲為原始比特幣，並補充說比特幣 SV (BSV) 是真正的版本。

Judge Mellor halted Wright’s lawsuit while the Contempt case is resolved, scheduling the hearing for December 18. During the hearing, the parties discussed that Wright’s in-person assistance was required, as he attended the initial hearing via video call from Singapore.

梅勒法官在藐視法庭案得到解決期間中止了賴特的訴訟，並將聽證會安排在12 月18 日。視訊電話參加了初步聽證會。

In a subsequent hearing, the court ordered Wright to return to the UK for today’s hearing.

在隨後的聽證會上，法院命令賴特返回英國參加今天的聽證會。

COPA Asks For 2-Year Sentence Over Bitcoin Core Case

COPA 要求就比特幣核心案件判處 2 年徒刑

COPA’s legal representative, Jonathan Hough, revealed that the non-profit organization offered to pay his travel expenses. Seemingly, Wright refused the offer, stating it “would not cover his business losses.”

COPA 的法律代表 Jonathan Hough 透露，該非營利組織願意支付他的旅行費用。賴特似乎拒絕了這一提議，稱其“無法彌補他的商業損失”。

“This is the first time that CSW has said he does not have the means to travel. He has covered cost orders of around £10m earlier this year, therefore this latest excuse deserves a large amount of skepticism,” Hough stated.

「這是 CSW 第一次表示他沒有能力出行。他今年早些時候已經承擔了約 1000 萬英鎊的成本訂單，因此這個最新的藉口值得大量懷疑。

The email exchange continued, with the Australian computer scientist stating that he would need £240,000 to cover the travel expenses and the business losses:

電子郵件往來仍在繼續，澳洲電腦科學家表示他需要 24 萬英鎊來支付差旅費和業務損失：

It comes in at £240,000. Due to the actions by COPA, I am not able to operate as expected. However, even with this funding I would not be in a position to function adequately, nor could I feasibly travel to complete such obligations.

它的售價為 240,000 英鎊。由於 COPA 的行動，我無法如預期般操作。然而，即使有了這筆資金，我也無法充分履行職責，也無法實際履行這些義務。

It’s worth noting that Hough requested “a sentence of 2-years and a following term of 6 months if CSW does not withdraw the new claim,” noting that Wright is “staying out of jurisdiction to avoid consequences.”

值得注意的是，Hough 要求“如果 CSW 不撤回新的索賠，則判處 2 年徒刑，並隨後判處 6 個月監禁”，並指出 Wright “為了避免後果而遠離管轄權”。

After Wright’s confirmed absence, British High Court Judge James Mellor decided to continue the hearing and hand down a judgment on Thursday, December 19 at 2 pm UK time. The judge asked COPA’s legal representative to invite Wright to the sentencing before ending the session.

在賴特確認缺席後，英國高等法院法官詹姆斯梅勒決定繼續聽證會，並於英國時間 12 月 19 日星期四下午 2 點作出判決。法官要求 COPA 的法律代表在審判結束前邀請 Wright 參加宣判。
