随着赖特的比特币身份被揭开，英国法院冻结了加密货币索赔

英国一家法院对 Craig Wright 的 600 万英镑（760 万美元）资产下达冻结令，阻止他因虚假声称自己是比特币的创造者而逃避法庭费用。该命令的批准是由于赖特在法院裁决揭穿他作为中本聪的说法后将资产转移到英国境外。这引发了人们的担忧，认为 Wright 试图避免支付加密货币开放专利联盟 (COPA) 在针对他的诉讼中产生的 847 万美元费用。

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

英国法院冻结克雷格·赖特的资产以防止比特币身份规避

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.

在一项具有里程碑意义的裁决中，英国法院冻结了自称比特币 (BTC) 创造者的克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 的 600 万英镑（760 万美元）资产。此举旨在防止赖特逃避因加密货币匿名创始人中本聪（Satoshi Nakamoto）身份引发的法律纠纷而产生的法庭费用。

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.

法院作出这一裁决之前，赖特在法庭判决驳回了他的中本聪身份后，将其部分资产转移到了英国境外。根据法庭文件，赖特于 3 月 18 日将其伦敦公司 RCJBR Holding 的股份转让给新加坡实体。这引起了加密货币开放专利联盟 (COPA) 的担忧，该联盟对赖特发起了法律诉讼，指控赖特谎称拥有比特币版权。

"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写道：“可以理解的是，这引起了 COPA 方面的严重担忧，即赖特博士正在采取措施，试图逃避审判中败诉的费用和后果。”

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 的全球冻结令请求，有效地冻结了 Wright 在全球的资产。该命令旨在支付 COPA 的诉讼费用总额 8,471,225 美元（6,703,747.91 英镑）。

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 成立于 2020 年，旨在通过消除专利作为创新障碍，促进加密货币技术的采用和进步。其成员包括 Coinbase、Block、Meta、MicroStrategy、Kraken、Paradigm、Uniswap 和 Worldcoin 等领先的加密公司。

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.

澳大利亚计算机科学家赖特多次声称自己是中本聪，并利用这一说法在比特币网络上提出版权主张。例如，2021 年 1 月，他要求两个网站删除比特币白皮书。

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 对 Wright 提起法律诉讼，质疑他声称自己是中本聪并因此拥有比特币版权。在听取了包括 Martti Malmi 在内的早期比特币开发者的证词后，法院于 2023 年 3 月 14 日得出结论，证据绝大多数与 Wright 的主张相矛盾。

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.

尽管法院做出了裁决，Wright 仍于 2023 年对包括 Blockstream、Coinbase 和 Block 在内的 13 家比特币核心开发商和公司提起诉讼，指控侵犯比特币白皮书、其文件格式以及比特币区块链的数据库权利。

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.

比特币法律辩护基金对赖特的诉讼做出了回应，突显了针对著名比特币贡献者的滥用法律诉讼的趋势不断增长。该基金认为，此类诉讼会因为相关的时间、压力、费用和法律风险而阻碍开发。

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.

赖特此前曾于 2019 年为比特币白皮书及其代码在美国提交了版权注册。不过，该白皮书现在受麻省理工学院开源许可证的约束，允许任何人出于任何目的重复使用和修改代码。法院禁令将阻止赖特对白皮书提出进一步的版权主张。
