比特币的“发明者”克雷格赖特承认他没有创造世界上第一个加密货币

克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 博士在他的网站上发布了一份法律声明，声明他不是比特币的化名创造者中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto)，此前高等法院于 3 月份作出裁决，驳回了他的主张。

A man who has spent the last eight years claiming to be the inventor of bitcoin has finally admitted that he did not create the world’s first cryptocurrency.

一个在过去八年里一直声称自己是比特币发明者的人终于承认他没有创造世界上第一个加密货币。

Dr Craig Wright posted a legal notice to his website stating that he is not bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto following a High Court ruling in March that dismissed his claims.

克雷格·赖特 (Craig Wright) 博士在他的网站上发布了一份法律声明，声明他不是比特币的化名创造者中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto)，此前高等法院于 3 月份作出裁决，驳回了他的主张。

The case was brought against the Australian computer scientist by a coalition of crypto businesses, who accused him of “industrial scale” forgery in his previous efforts to sue bitcoin developers for using the technology.

该案是由加密货币企业联盟对这位澳大利亚计算机科学家提起的，该联盟指控他在之前起诉比特币开发商使用该技术的过程中进行了“工业规模”的伪造。

The presiding judge, Justice Mellor, said at the time that Dr Wright lied “extensively and repeatedly” in his attempts to convince people he was Satoshi Nakamoto.

主审法官梅勒法官当时表示，赖特博士在试图让人们相信他就是中本聪的过程中“广泛且反复地”撒谎。

“The evidence is overwhelming that Dr Wright is not the author of the bitcoin white paper,” Justice Mellor said after the case concluded.

“有压倒性的证据表明赖特博士不是比特币白皮书的作者，”梅勒法官在案件结束后表示。

“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.”

“他的大部分谎言都与他伪造的文件有关，这些文件旨在支持他的主张……赖特博士试图证明他是中本聪，这是对本法院程序的最严重滥用。”

Justice Mellor has now said he will refer the case to the Crown Prosecution Service “for consideration of whether a prosecution should be commenced against Dr Wright” for wholescale perjury and forgery of documents.

梅勒法官现已表示，他将将此案移交给皇家检察署，“以考虑是否应对赖特博士提起大规模伪证和伪造文件的起诉”。

Dr Wright, who is currently based in the UK, also faces potential extradition proceedings.

目前居住在英国的赖特博士也面临着潜在的引渡程序。

The statement posted to his website on Tuesday acknowledged that he had been dishonest in his claims to be the creator of the world’s first cryptocurrency.

周二在他的网站上发布的声明承认，他声称自己是世界上第一个加密货币的创造者，这是不诚实的。

“The court found that Dr Wright ‘lied to the court extensively and repeatedly’ in his evidence and that he attempted to create a false narrative by forging documents ‘on a grand scale’ and presenting them as evidence... Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper,” the legal notice states, referring to the 2008 document authored by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, which first introduced the concept of bitcoin to the world.

“法院发现，赖特博士在其证据中‘广泛且反复地向法庭撒谎’，并试图通过‘大规模’伪造文件并将其作为证据来制造虚假叙述……赖特博士不是法律声明称，该文件是由化名中本聪 (Satoshi Nakamoto) 撰写的 2008 年文件，该文件首次向世界介绍了比特币的概念。

“Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period between 2008 and 2011... Dr Wright is not the person who created the bitcoin system.”

“赖特博士不是在 2008 年至 2011 年间采用中本聪笔名或以中本聪名义进行操作的人……赖特博士不是创建比特币系统的人。”
