英國法院凍結自稱「中本聰」的克雷格·賴特的資產

在一項重大的法律進展中，克雷格·賴特(Craig Wright) 的600 萬英鎊資產被英國法院凍結，原因是他自稱是中本聰(Satoshi Nakamoto) 的一場失敗的訴訟未支付法律費用。這項決定是在法院駁回賴特的索賠後指控賴特將資產轉移出英國之後作出的。法官詹姆斯梅勒 (James Mellor) 針對 COPA 提出的法律費用要求下達了一項全球凍結令，稱賴特的行為引發了對其逃避費用意圖的「嚴重擔憂」。

Court Freezes Craig Wright's Assets to Ensure Compensation for Unsubstantiated Bitcoin Claims

法院凍結克雷格·賴特的資產，以確保對未經證實的比特幣索賠進行賠償

In a decisive legal blow, a UK court has ordered the freezing of £6 million ($7.6 million) in assets belonging to Craig Wright, the controversial computer scientist who has repeatedly asserted his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. This action aims to prevent Wright from evading legal obligations and compensate the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) for expenses incurred in a lawsuit that dismissed Wright's claims.

英國一家法院下令凍結克雷格·賴特(Craig Wright) 的600 萬英鎊（760 萬美元）資產，這是一次決定性的法律打擊。克雷格·賴特是一位備受爭議的計算機科學家，多次聲稱自己是比特幣的化名創造者中本聰。此舉旨在防止 Wright 逃避法律義務，並賠償加密貨幣開放專利聯盟 (COPA) 在駁回 Wright 索賠的訴訟中產生的費用。

The ruling stemmed from concerns raised by COPA regarding Wright's alleged transfer of assets out of the UK following the court's previous dismissal of his Nakamoto claim. Specifically, Wright shifted shares from his London-based company, RCJBR Holding, to a Singaporean firm, prompting fears that he intended to avoid paying legal costs.

該裁決源於 COPA 對賴特涉嫌將資產轉移出英國的擔憂，此前法院駁回了他的中本聰索賠。具體來說，賴特將其總部位於倫敦的公司 RCJBR Holding 的股份轉移到了一家新加坡公司，這引發了人們對他打算避免支付法律費用的擔憂。

"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," stated Judge James Mellor in addressing these actions.

「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成本和後果，」法官詹姆斯·梅勒在談到這些行為時表示。

Consequently, the judge imposed a "worldwide freezing order" in response to COPA's request for coverage of its legal expenses, which totaled $8,471,225 (£6,703,747.91). COPA, a non-profit organization founded in 2020, seeks to foster the widespread adoption of cryptocurrency technology and eliminate patents as an obstacle to growth. Its membership boasts renowned entities such as Coinbase, Block, Meta, and MicroStrategy.

因此，法官針對 COPA 要求支付其總計 8,471,225 美元（6,703,747.91 英鎊）法律費用的要求，下達了「全球凍結令」。 COPA 是一家成立於 2020 年的非營利組織，致力於促進加密貨幣技術的廣泛採用，並消除專利作為成長的障礙。其成員包括 Coinbase、Block、Meta 和 MicroStrategy 等知名實體。

Wright, an Australian computer scientist, has been embroiled in copyright disputes related to the Bitcoin network, asserting his alleged identity as Nakamoto. In January 2021, he audaciously demanded the removal of the Bitcoin white paper from two websites.

澳洲電腦科學家賴特捲入了與比特幣網路相關的版權糾紛，他聲稱自己的身分是中本聰。 2021年1月，他大膽要求從兩個網站刪除比特幣白皮書。

Challenging Wright's claims, COPA filed a lawsuit in April 2021, contesting his ownership of the Bitcoin copyright. The case, which garnered input from early Bitcoin developers, concluded on March 14, 2023, with a verdict strongly suggesting that Wright was not the true Nakamoto.

COPA 於 2021 年 4 月提起訴訟，質疑 Wright 的比特幣版權所有權。該案收集了早期比特幣開發者的意見，並於 2023 年 3 月 14 日結束，判決強烈表明賴特不是真正的中本聰。

Unperturbed, Wright filed copyright infringement lawsuits against 13 Bitcoin Core developers and several companies in 2023, alleging infringement of his purported copyright over the Bitcoin white paper and code. These actions drew the ire of the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund, which highlighted the detrimental impact of such lawsuits on Bitcoin's development, citing the undue stress and financial burden they impose.

賴特泰然自若，於 2023 年對 13 名比特幣核心開發人員和幾家公司提起版權侵權訴訟，指控侵犯了他對比特幣白皮書和程式碼的所謂版權。這些行為引起了比特幣法律辯護基金的憤怒，該基金強調了此類訴訟對比特幣發展的不利影響，並指出它們造成了不當的壓力和財務負擔。

Despite Wright's attempts to assert copyright over the Bitcoin white paper and code following a 2019 US copyright registration, his claims have faced widespread backlash. The Bitcoin white paper remains under an MIT open-source license, allowing for its free modification and reuse, rendering it immune to further copyright claims by Wright.

儘管賴特在 2019 年美國版權註冊後試圖主張比特幣白皮書和程式碼的版權，但他的主張遭到了廣泛的反對。比特幣白皮書仍處於麻省理工學院的開源許可之下，允許免費修改和重複使用，使其免受賴特進一步版權主張的影響。

This decisive court ruling against Wright's assets serves as a testament to the judiciary's commitment to upholding the rule of law and preventing individuals from exploiting legal processes for personal gain. It underscores the importance of accountability in the cryptocurrency space and ensures that fraudulent claims do not go unpunished.

法院對賴特資產的這項決定性裁決證明了司法部門致力於維護法治並防止個人利用法律程序謀取個人利益。它強調了加密貨幣領域問責制的重要性，並確保欺詐性索賠不會逃脫懲罰。
