Wright demanded £ 100,000 in damages and litigation costs. Next week, the court should determine the time frame in which McCormack should provide an answer, after which the immediate trial will begin.

Nevertheless, McCormack did not lose heart and sarcastically offered the plaintiff his deal.

“I have a deal for you. I agree to all the conditions and pay Wright not even £ 100,000, but 150,000. But he will return 50 thousand from Satoshi’s wallet to me. Have you agreed? ”

Earlier, Wright confirmed his intention to sue the Twitter user Hodlonaut with a claim for the protection of honor and dignity, and also offered a reward of $ 5000 in BSV-equivalent for information that will help in his identification. He also revealed some of the personal data of his critic.

However, the community instantly responded to the aggressive actions of the self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto: users began to rename accounts to “ Hodlonaut ” and change avatars to the image of a cat in a spacesuit.

In response to Wright's actions, the Binance , Kraken exchange and the ShapeShift exchange platform subjected the Bitcoin SV cryptocurrency, promoted by an Australian entrepreneur, to delisting.
