Craig Wright: Skipping Court Hearing Could Lead to Arrest

Craig Wright, claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, skipped the London court hearing citing financial difficulties, which may lead to his arrest.

Refusal to Attend the Hearing

The hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice is part of a legal battle with the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), asserting Wright breached a prior court order. The breach is related to his involvement in a £900 billion lawsuit against over 100 companies.

COPA's Proposal and Wright's Response

Wright's absence raised concerns that he might be dodging accountability for his actions. COPA offered to cover his travel expenses, but Wright declined the offer, claiming that he lost contracts due to COPA's actions.

Legal Proceeding Consequences

COPA's counsel, Jonathan Hough, argues Wright's absence from court is a voluntary act to avoid legal consequences of contempt. The judge has scheduled a hearing for tomorrow for sentencing, which Wright can attend remotely. COPA insists on an 18-month jail sentence.

The legal hearing will continue, with Wright expected to participate remotely to avoid harsher repercussions.
