This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a sign of the extent of his defeat, the presiding judge, Mr Justice Mellor, took the unusual step of issuing an oral verdict within seconds of the case concluding.

“Most of his lies related to the documents he had forged which purported to support his claim … Dr Wright’s attempts to prove he was/is Satoshi Nakamoto represent a most serious abuse of this court’s process.”

“In advancing his false claim to be Satoshi through multiple legal actions, Dr Wright committed ‘a most serious abuse’ of the process of the courts of the UK, Norway and the USA,” the ruling said.

“In these circumstances … I have no doubt that I should refer the relevant papers in this case to the CPS for consideration of whether a prosecution should be commenced against Dr Wright for his wholescale perjury and forgery of documents and/or whether a warrant for his arrest should be issued and/or whether his extradition should be sought from wherever he now is.

An earlier court case, brought by Wright against a bitcoin celebrity who had accused him of being “a liar” and “a fraud”, had ended in a shock victory for the Australian, after the respondent, Peter McCormack, dropped his defence on the grounds of truth.

But Wright’s victory was a pyrrhic one: the judge, Mr Justic Chamberlain, ruled that he had “advanced a deliberately false case”, and awarded token damages of just £1.
