Technology commentator Alex Sims details the case of Dr Craig Wright, an Australian computer scientist and businessman who's claimed for years that he's the main part of the team that created Bitcoin, the person behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. She looks at the 'lawfare' he engaged in with those who disputed his claims, and how he ended up in court himself. His case was this week referred to the UK's Crown Prosecution Service for potential perjury and forgery.
