A UK court has issued Craig Wright with a General Civil Restraint Order (GCRO) that bars the self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto from filing any more legal claims in the UK without the High Court’s permission.  That’s according to a judgment from Judge James Mellor released today, which approves applications from the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) and Jack Dorsey’s payments firm SquareUp.  The order refers Wright to Richard Hermer, the UK’s Attorney General, who will consider whether he classifies as a “vexatious litigant” and merits an additional Civil Procedure Order (CPO) on top of his GCRO.  Wright was also ordered to pay the £100,000 ($132,000) it cost COPA and SquareUp to file the applications.

Calvin Ayre , a gambling magnate who has funded many Bitcoin Satoshi Vision ( BSV ) projects, has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that he is taking a break the day after the UK High Court ruled that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.  Earlier this month, Ayre was confident that “Craig is winning” the lawsuit he has since lost. Despite this court ruling, Ayre claimed that he still knows that Wright is Satoshi.  Ayre has been the principal financier behind nChain, a firm that has attempted to market a collection of ‘intellectual property’ it contends is related to ‘blockchain.’  Ayre has also reportedly provided the funding behind various other lawsuits related to BSV, including a class action lawsuit that accuses Binance and other exchanges of hurting investors by not describing BSV as ‘Bitcoin.’ Read more: Former nChain CEO claims Craig Wright is lying about Satoshi BSV has fallen nearly 20% to less than $90, or appr...

On July 12, Forbes’ Michael del Castillo revealed that Calvin Ayre had 260 staff members working at nChain, a pro-Craig Wright and pro-Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision (BSV) patent company. Well, plot twist: its CEO just quit. Ex- nChain Group CEO Christen Ager-Hanssen now believes Wright is Faketoshi — a liar who tampered with evidence and witnesses to deceive the public regarding his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Shortly after resigning, he began leaking a series of screenshots and documents, including the claim that Calvin Ayre had an agreement to earn up to 50% of Satoshi Nakamoto’s bitcoin that Craig Wright professes to own. Ager-Hanssen alerted nChain’s board of directors about an attempt, as he sees it, by a major shareholder to defraud other stakeholders. He also expressed concerns about a party he described as the “ultimate beneficiary shareholder” and the DW Discovery fund, which is registered in the Cayman Islands. Ager-Hanssen alleges that Wright manipulated documen...
