The judge in the COPA vs Wright case has been asked to consider criminal charges against two witnesses who gave evidence for Craig Wright in February. At a Form of Order hearing on Friday, COPA's barrister, Jonathan Hough, asked Justice Mellor to "consider criminal investigation and prosecution" of Stefan Matthews and Robert Jenkins, who COPA argues lied on Wright's behalf during the trial, which ended with Wright being declared as fraudulently claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto. Any such decisions will be made this Friday when the form of Wright's injunction will be finalized, which will almost certainly see him banned from saying he is Satoshi and could see him also referred for criminal investigation.
On June 7, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) requested Judge James Mellor to order Craig Wright to cover 85% of the legal costs from their recent court case.
