Copyright law was key to disputing fraudster’s claim to be cryptocurrency’s founder Satoshi Nakamoto
The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of bitcoin, remains the biggest mystery in the global crypto industry. Countless articles and podcasts have been dedicated to finding the person, or people, who launched bitcoin, which is now the bedrock of a whole new asset class and billions of dollars’ worth of investments.
The case was brought after Wright began, in late 2020, emailing crypto developers and businesses that hosted the bitcoin white paper on their websites, asking them to take it down, recounts Sherrell. Crypto developers and executives “became concerned about where that might lead, and whether this was the start of a campaign in relation to other Satoshi IP rights”, he adds. To prove that Wright was not Satoshi, Sherrell’s team began collecting evidence that would show he was lying.
