Craig Wright Satoshi Claim Gets $70 Million Hollywood Treatment
A new $70 million movie, currently in post-production, tells the story of Craig Wright's claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto. The film's director is Doug Liman, and it features a star-studded cast, including Casey Affleck as Wright. However, not everyone agrees with Wright's version of events.
Mark Karpelès, the former chief of Mt. Gox, has responded to the movie by pointing viewers towards the court record instead. He argues that the film inverts what judges actually found, and that it presents a misleading account of the truth.
The High Court of England and Wales ruled in 2024 that Wright did not write the Bitcoin white paper or create the network. Mr Justice Mellor found forgery on a grand scale and stated that 'Dr Wright lied to the Court extensively and repeatedly.'
