克雷格·赖特因藐视法庭被判处一年监禁，法律困境加深

法官詹姆斯·爱德华·梅勒 (James Edward Mellor) 在对赖特的行为进行彻底分析后做出了这一决定，法院裁定，赖特的行为包括“重大行为”。

Craig Wright, who claims to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto, has been sentenced to one year in prison by a UK judge for contempt of court on Thursday.

自称比特币创造者中本聪的克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 周四因藐视法庭被英国法官判处一年监禁。

This decision, made by Justice James Edward Mellor, comes after an extensive review of Wright’s conduct, which the court found included “significant and persistent falsehoods” regarding his status as Bitcoin’s founder.

法官詹姆斯·爱德华·梅勒 (James Edward Mellor) 在对赖特的行为进行了广泛审查后做出了这一决定，法院发现赖特的行为包括关于他作为比特币创始人的身份的“重大且持续的谎言”。

The sentence is however suspended for two years, meaning that Wright will only serve time if he commits further offenses during this probationary period.

然而，刑期缓期两年，这意味着赖特只有在缓刑期间犯下进一步的罪行才会服刑。

Craig Wright’s Legal Deepen

克雷格·赖特的《法律深化》

This ruling pertains to a high-profile case where Craig Wright filed a massive $1.15 trillion lawsuit against Bitcoin developers and payments company Square. The court found that he breached a previous order that barred him from publicly claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto and pursuing legal actions based on this assertion.

这项裁决涉及一个备受瞩目的案件，其中 Craig Wright 对比特币开发商和支付公司 Square 提起了 1.15 万亿美元的巨额诉讼。法院发现，他违反了之前的一项命令，该命令禁止他公开声称自己是中本聪，并根据这一主张采取法律行动。

At the recent hearing, Wright reportedly indicated his intention to appeal the contempt finding, though he could not be immediately reached for comment.

据报道，在最近的听证会上，赖特表示打算对藐视法庭的裁决提出上诉，但无法立即联系到他置评。

However, Wright’s legal troubles escalated as the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), a consortium of cryptocurrency companies, proceeded with their proceedings against him.

然而，随着加密货币公司联盟“加密货币开放专利联盟”(COPA) 对赖特提起诉讼，赖特的法律麻烦不断升级。

COPA sought a formal declaration that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, in an effort to curb his ability to pursue multiple lawsuits against Bitcoin developers and others regarding intellectual property rights connected to Bitcoin.

COPA 寻求正式声明克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 不是中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto)，以限制他就与比特币相关的知识产权对比特币开发商和其他人提起多项诉讼的能力。

During the six-week trial, Justice Mellor delivered an unusual snap verdict, stating, “The evidence is overwhelming.” He concluded that Wright was not the individual who operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakもと and accused him of deliberately fabricating documents to support his claims.

在为期六周的审判中，梅勒法官做出了不同寻常的仓促判决，他表示：“证据是压倒性的。”他得出的结论是，赖特并不是以中本聪（Satoshi Nakもと）为笔名进行活动的人，并指责他故意伪造文件来支持自己的主张。

The judge characterized Craig Wright’s actions as a “vehicle for fraud,” highlighting that his extensive lies were aimed at bolstering his primary falsehood: his identity as Bitcoin’s creator.

法官将克雷格·赖特的行为描述为“欺诈工具”，并强调他的广泛谎言旨在支持他的主要谎言：他作为比特币创造者的身份。

Along with the contempt ruling, Justice Mellor also directed the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider pursuing criminal charges against Wright for what he described as “wholesale perjury.” As of now, no perjury charges have been filed against him.

除了藐视法庭裁决之外，梅勒法官还指示皇家检察署（CPS）考虑对赖特提出刑事指控，罪名是他所称的“大规模伪证”。截至目前，尚未对他提出伪证指控。

Wright’s Claims Of Bitcoin Alteration Rejected

赖特关于比特币篡改的主张被驳回

Craig Wright’s October lawsuit against Square and Bitcoin developers accused them of “misrepresenting” Bitcoin (BTC) as the original cryptocurrency.

克雷格·怀特 (Craig Wright) 10 月份对 Square 和比特币开发商提起诉讼，指控他们“歪曲”比特币 (BTC) 作为原始加密货币。

He alleged that they had altered the original Bitcoin protocol without authorization, asserting that these changes deviated fundamentally from the system defined by Satoshi Nakamoto in the Bitcoin White Paper.

他声称他们未经授权更改了原始比特币协议，并声称这些更改从根本上偏离了中本聪在比特币白皮书中定义的系统。

COPA on the other hand, argued that Craig Wright’s lawsuit violated the legal injunctions placed upon him, alleging contempt on five separate grounds.

另一方面，COPA 认为克雷格·赖特的诉讼违反了针对他的法律禁令，并以五个不同的理由指控其藐视法庭。

In his judgment, Justice Mellor ordered Wright to discontinue his legal actions against Square and the Bitcoin developers, stating, “There is no doubt whatever that each of these contempts has been proved.”

在判决中，梅勒法官命令赖特停止对 Square 和比特币开发商采取法律行动，并表示：“毫无疑问，这些蔑视行为都已得到证实。”

Craig Wright had been expected to attend a hearing to address the contempt claims but failed to appear, citing potential financial losses in excess of £240,000 ($303,000) as the reason for his absence. Reports suggest he is currently in Asia, possibly in Singapore or Indonesia, but he did not disclose his exact location when asked by the court.

克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 原本预计将出席一场解决藐视法庭指控的听证会，但他未能出席，他缺席的原因是潜在的财务损失超过 240,000 英镑（303,000 美元）。有报道称他目前在亚洲，可能在新加坡或印度尼西亚，但在法庭询问时他没有透露具体位置。

At press time, Bitcoin is trading at $96,340, having lost the key $100,000 mark following the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) decision to cut interest rates on Wednesday. Currently, BTC is down nearly 5% over the past 24 hours.

截至发稿时，比特币交易价格为 96,340 美元，在美联储 (Fed) 周三决定降息后，比特币跌破了 100,000 美元关键关口。目前，BTC在过去24小时内下跌了近5%。
