Australian computer scientist Craig Wright entered the witness box at the High Court and testified he was the man behind “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the pseudonym that has masked the identity of the creator of bitcoin.
The trial started on Monday and is expected to last a month, before a judge rules at a later date.
The ruling will affect three pending lawsuits that Wright has filed based on his claim to having the intellectual property rights to bitcoin.
Wright appears to have never done so, despite vowing to prove that he's the owner of the fortune.
In the London trial, Hough repeatedly sparred with Wright over the authenticity of documents that he said support his claims.
