A court in London will try to determine whether or not Australian Craig Steven Wright is the enigmatic programmer behind bitcoin. His detractors nickname him “Faketoshi’, named after Satoshi Nakamoto – a pseudonym – who published the text on the origin of bitcoin in October 2008.
Two years ago, in a Norwegian court, he claimed to have destroyed the computer's hard drive which would have allowed him to access the code. Craig Wright is not the first to claim the authorship of bitcoin or to be suspected of it.
