Craig Steven Wright (born October 1970)[1] is an Australian computer scientist and businessman. He has publicly claimed to be the main part of the team that created bitcoin, and the identity behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. [citation needed] These claims are generally regarded as false by the media and the cryptocurrency community.[2][3][4] In March 2024, Mr Justice James Mellor in the British High Court ruled that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto.[5] In July 2024, a British High Court judge referred Craig Wright to UK prosecutors for alleged perjury related to his claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto.[6][7][8] As of 2019, Wright lived in the United Kingdom.[9]
