High Court Of England Dismisses The Charges Against Craig Wright

Craig Wright sent remarks on a Slack channel in August 2022. The latter brought up his case against journalist Peter McCormack. This was the text of the ruling, which had been provided to Wright’s lawyers hours before. The publishing of Bitcoin‘s self-proclaimed founder was viewed as an attempt to reveal the contents of a judgment. But, in the United Kingdom, such an act is deemed as contempt of court. It can also result in a two-year jail term. Having said that, the court issued its judgement on Wednesday during a hearing following several months of inquiry.

Craig Wright Finds Himself in more Legal Jeopardy

Craig Wright finds himself in more legal jeopardy after losing his case against Hodlonaut. There was a particular example of contempt of court, which resulted in legal action against the computer professional. Judge Martin Chamberlain initially remanded the matter for further investigation. The charges have now been dropped by Judge Mark Warby of the High Court of England. He indicated that the court lacks the resources to conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter.
Mark Warby spoke on behalf of himself and Judge Matthew Nicklin. “We have judged that it is no longer in the public interest to prosecute these actions,” he stated. The Court, he claims, is “ill-equipped to undertake contempt actions when the fundamental facts are challenged, or a series of legal problems are presented.”
