The legal dispute involving Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, has witnessed a significant development. A UK judge has postponed the trial between Wright and Bitcoin Core developers to February 5th. This <a href="https://bitcoindefense.org/judge-in-copa-lawsuit-against-craig-wright-admits-new-evidence-orders-wright-to-pay-additional-800000-to-developers-and-sets-new-trial-date/">decision</a> follows the introduction of new evidence purportedly supporting Wright’s claim. Discovered in two USB drives, these 97 documents contain LaTex files similar to those used in drafting the original Bitcoin white paper.

Accusations of fabricated evidence and manipulation of metadata have been leveled against Wright by the Bitcoin developers. These <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-lawyer-craig-wright-satoshi-nakamoto/">allegations</a> emerged after they presented 50 pieces of evidence challenging the authenticity of Wright’s previous submissions.&nbsp; 
In response, Justice Edward James Mellor has ordered Wright to pay an additional 800,000 pounds (approximately $1 million) by January 5th. This amount is to cover the legal costs of the developers if Wright <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-news-craig-wright-made-dumb-argument-ripple-cto/">loses</a> the trial. He had previously deposited 100,000 pounds ($127,000) for the same purpose.

Further, the court has mandated Wright to pay 65,000 pounds ($82,000) for the costs incurred by COPA in presenting expert evidence related to his Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). While Wright sought specific trial accommodations due to his ASD, the developers contested this request. Consequently, Wright will be limited to using the LiveNote Screen and writing down questions on paper during the trial. 
The unfolding legal drama underscores the complexities surrounding the identity of Bitcoin’s creator and the ongoing <a href="https://coingape.com/satoshi-nakamoto-shares-first-post-in-5-years-heres-what-is-coming/">debate</a> over the digital currency’s origins and control. With the trial set for February, the crypto community eagerly awaits further developments in this high-stakes legal battle.
