Australian computer scientist and self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor, Craig Wright, is facing a contempt of court case for his $1.2 billion lawsuit against BTC Core developers and Square.
The Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA) filed a contempt application form, arguing that Wright breached the injunction from the main Bitcoin authorship trial.
Wright claims that BTC Core developers and affiliated parties misrepresented BTC as the original Bitcoin and caused confusion in the market with Taproot and SegWit upgrades.
Judge Mellor put Wright's lawsuit on hold until the contempt application is resolved on December 18, and a direction hearing is set for November 26 to determine Wright's physical presence in court.
