Craig Wright gets 2-year suspended sentence in COPA contempt case

Craig Wright was found guilty of criminal contempt of court and will also have to pay £144,000 in legal costs as part of his punishment.

Craig Wright skips UK court hearing, COPA wants him in prison

Craig Wright claimed he couldn’t attend today’s court hearing due to “a lack of means for travel” despite COPA offering to cover his costs.

Craig Wright’s appeal in its case against COPA was “totally without merit” and contained “multiple falsehoods,” a judge ruled.

The Australian entrepreneur failed to argue that his autism and plans for Christmas should prevent him from appearing in person.

Craig Wright’s claim apparently also includes 16 links to various articles cited as evidence that are broken or made up.
