Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist, received a one-year suspended prison sentence for repeatedly lying about being Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, and defying court orders to stop suing people over intellectual property rights. The high court found Wright's claims false and his legal actions baseless.

Wright was then ordered to stop taking legal actions against bitcoin developers, but defied that court order in October when he brought suits against cryptocurrency developers amounting to more than £900bn in respect of his claimed intellectual property rights related to bitcoin. Hough told the court that Wright’s legal threats had “terrorised” people, putting “developers and bloggers through … years of personal hell” and that the new claims were intended to “cause maximum possible distress”.
