英国法院冻结自称“中本聪”的克雷格·赖特的资产

在一项重大的法律进展中，克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 的 600 万英镑资产被英国法院冻结，原因是他自称是中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 的一场失败的诉讼未支付法律费用。这项决定是在法院驳回赖特的索赔后指控赖特将资产转移出英国之后作出的。法官詹姆斯·梅勒 (James Mellor) 针对 COPA 提出的法律费用要求下达了一项全球冻结令，称赖特的行为引发了对其逃避费用意图的“严重担忧”。

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

法院冻结克雷格·赖特的资产，以确保对未经证实的比特币索赔进行赔偿

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.

英国一家法院下令冻结克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 的 600 万英镑（760 万美元）资产，这是一次决定性的法律打击。克雷格·赖特是一位备受争议的计算机科学家，多次声称自己是比特币的化名创造者中本聪。此举旨在防止 Wright 逃避法律义务，并赔偿加密货币开放专利联盟 (COPA) 在驳回 Wright 索赔的诉讼中产生的费用。

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.

该裁决源于 COPA 对赖特涉嫌将资产转移出英国的担忧，此前法院驳回了他的中本聪索赔。具体来说，赖特将其总部位于伦敦的公司 RCJBR Holding 的股份转移到了一家新加坡公司，这引发了人们对他打算避免支付法律费用的担忧。

"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，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成本和后果，”法官詹姆斯·梅勒在谈到这些行为时表示。

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，法官针对 COPA 要求支付其总计 8,471,225 美元（6,703,747.91 英镑）法律费用的要求，下达了“全球冻结令”。 COPA 是一家成立于 2020 年的非营利组织，致力于促进加密货币技术的广泛采用，并消除专利作为增长的障碍。其成员包括 Coinbase、Block、Meta 和 MicroStrategy 等知名实体。

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.

澳大利亚计算机科学家赖特卷入了与比特币网络相关的版权纠纷，他声称自己的身份是中本聪。 2021年1月，他大胆要求从两个网站删除比特币白皮书。

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 于 2021 年 4 月提起诉讼，质疑 Wright 的比特币版权所有权。该案收集了早期比特币开发者的意见，于 2023 年 3 月 14 日结束，判决强烈表明赖特不是真正的中本聪。

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.

赖特泰然自若，于 2023 年对 13 名比特币核心开发商和几家公司提起版权侵权诉讼，指控侵犯了他对比特币白皮书和代码的所谓版权。这些行为引起了比特币法律辩护基金的愤怒，该基金强调了此类诉讼对比特币发展的不利影响，并指出它们造成了不当的压力和财务负担。

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.

尽管赖特在 2019 年美国版权注册后试图主张比特币白皮书和代码的版权，但他的主张遭到了广泛的反对。比特币白皮书仍处于麻省理工学院的开源许可之下，允许免费修改和重复使用，使其免受赖特进一步版权主张的影响。

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.

法院对赖特资产的这一决定性裁决证明了司法部门致力于维护法治并防止个人利用法律程序谋取个人利益。它强调了加密货币领域问责制的重要性，并确保欺诈性索赔不会逃脱惩罚。
