自称比特币创造者的克雷格·赖特因藐视法庭被判入狱

这项藐视法庭裁决源于 Wright 对 Bitcoin Core 开发商和 Square Up Europe Limited 提起 9110 亿英镑的诉讼，该诉讼直接违反了 2024 年 3 月的法院禁令。

Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, who claimed to be the creator of bitcoin, has been sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years, after being found in contempt of court.

自称是比特币创造者的澳大利亚计算机科学家克雷格·赖特因藐视法庭罪被判处一年监禁，缓刑两年。

The contempt ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Wright, targeting 26 defendants, including Bitcoin Core developers and Square Up Europe Limited. The defendants were later reported to have grown to over 100 companies globally.

这项藐视法庭裁决源于 Wright 提起的诉讼，该诉讼针对 26 名被告，其中包括 Bitcoin Core 开发商和 Square Up Europe Limited。据报道，被告后来在全球拥有 100 多家公司。

The lawsuit was filed despite a March 2024 court injunction prohibiting Wright from asserting legal claims based on his claimed identity as Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin. This injunction was issued following a March 2024 ruling by the UK High Court, where Mr Justice Mellor found “overwhelming evidence” that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.

尽管 2024 年 3 月法院颁布禁令，禁止 Wright 以其声称的比特币化名创造者中本聪身份提出法律主张，但该诉讼还是提起了。该禁令是在英国高等法院于 2024 年 3 月做出裁决后发布的，梅勒法官在该裁决中发现了“压倒性的证据”表明赖特不是中本聪。

The court concluded that Wright had lied extensively and forged documents to support his claims, preventing him from pursuing further legal claims tied to his alleged identity as Satoshi Nakもと.

法院得出的结论是，赖特撒了广泛的谎，并伪造了文件来支持他的主张，阻止他就他所谓的“中本聪”身份提出进一步的法律主张。

The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), represented by Jonathan Hough KC of Bird & Bird LLP, initiated the contempt proceedings against Wright. Backed by industry leaders like Coinbase, Kraken, and MicroStrategy, COPA aims to protect open-source technologies and prevent restrictive patent practices.

由 Bird & Bird LLP 的 Jonathan Hough KC 代表的加密货币开放专利联盟 (COPA) 启动了针对 Wright 的藐视法庭诉讼。在 Coinbase、Kraken 和 MicroStrategy 等行业领导者的支持下，COPA 旨在保护开源技术并防止限制性专利做法。

In the judgment, Judge Mellor sharply criticized Wright's conduct, stating that he had “extensively and repeatedly” lied and forged documents “on a grand scale.” The judge emphasized that Wright's actions were a misuse of the court system, intended to deceive and manipulate legal proceedings to his advantage.

在判决中，梅勒法官严厉批评了赖特的行为，称他“广泛且反复”撒谎并“大规模”伪造文件。法官强调，赖特的行为是对法院系统的滥用，旨在欺骗和操纵法律程序以对他有利。

“I have found, to the requisite criminal standard of proof, that Dr. Wright committed each of the contempts alleged by COPA in their Grounds 1 to 5 inclusive. Indeed, in my judgment, there is no doubt whatever that each of these contempts has been proved,” Mellor concluded.

“根据必要的刑事证据标准，我发现赖特博士犯有 COPA 指控的每一项藐视法庭罪，包括理由 1 至 5。事实上，根据我的判断，毫无疑问，这些蔑视行为都已得到证实。”梅勒总结道。

Hough argued that Wright’s actions were premeditated and vexatious, accusing him of relitigating settled matters and weaponizing the court system to silence critics. He described Wright's efforts as a “desperate publicity stunt” to keep his “cultish supporters engaged.”

霍夫辩称，赖特的行为是有预谋且无理取闹的，指责他对已解决的问题重新提起诉讼，并将法院系统武器化以压制批评者。他将赖特的努力描述为“绝望的宣传噱头”，以保持他的“狂热支持者的参与”。

Judge Mellor highlighted Wright’s lack of remorse and the deliberate nature of his actions.

梅勒法官强调了赖特缺乏悔意以及他的行为是故意的。

The court concluded that Wright’s contempt was of such gravity that only a custodial sentence would suffice. Wright was also ordered to pay £144,000 in legal costs within 14 days.

法院的结论是，赖特的藐视法庭行为非常严重，只有监禁刑才足够。赖特还被勒令在 14 天内支付 144,000 英镑的法律费用。
