> A legal notice on Wright’s website¹ now states that he is not Satoshi and that he has been ordered not to carry out any more legal proceedings based on these false claims.

I can see the notice, but how does that work? Did the court order that specific phrasing and page? Have they seized the domain? Are they going to run it indefinitely? Is there anything stopping Craig from purchasing a new domain and using that?

It doesn't look like a seized domain/website, then his own personal "logo" wouldn't be there, and it would be clear some agency was behind it, but seems that has been published by himself.

Skimmed through the linked court docs but didn't find anything about him being forced to publish something like this, although that would make sense if he was.

Seems weird to write in 3rd person though, but wouldn't be the weirdest thing that guy engaged in so who knows, diggan certainly doesn't.


Here's one relevant court judgment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40981612

I haven't read other case documents, so it may not be the final word on the matter. In particular, it doesn't contain the actual notice text.


Your first guess is precisely right: the court ordered him to post that notice on his Twitter accounts and website. It's for a limited time of a few months.
