the tuesday-newsday and we have a lot to cover. let me jump right in. first up, dr craig wright,
the man who claims to have invented bitcoin, has been awarded just one pound in damages by
the high court in the uk after a libel trial. he had launched legal action against what bitcoin
did podcaster peter mccormick, who had repeatedly said that wright was not satoshi nakamoto. a judge
has now ruled some of the evidence submitted by wright was straightforwardly false in almost every
material aspect and said, he was not a witness of truth. justice chamberlain added - that it would
be unconscionable for wright to receive anything more than nominal damages. wright's legal team
responded by saying, they welcomed the judgment insofar as it finds that mccormack has defamed dr
wright and caused serious harm to his reputation in all of his tweets and youtube interview in
issue. he plans to appeal the adverse findings of the judgment in which my evidence was clearly
misunderstood. mccormick also responded by saying that the process is not complete and
while he wasn't prepared to make a further comment he did say - i want to thank my lawyers and their
diligent work on the case. i also want to thank mr justice chamberlain for this result. we are very
pleased with his findings. a music album that's being released as a non-fungible token, could end

always strived to move with the times and take into account the new ways music is being consumed.

fbi special agent to commit the killing. she paid bitcoin worth $10 000 across three transactions
in october of that year and the undercover agent later called her confirming that she was paying
