Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, did not hold back his criticism following Craig Wright’s latest legal maneuver—a colossal £911 billion lawsuit against Bitcoin Core and Square.

Hoskinson, a well-known figure in the crypto space, expressed frustration over Wright’s ongoing legal actions. He questioned why authorities continue to permit such legal maneuvers. He also suggested that Wright’s persistent lawsuits reflect an abuse of the legal system. This is fueled by what he sees as baseless claims and delusional behavior.

Charles Hoskinson Calls Out Craig Wright Amid Recent Lawsuit

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has unleashed Craig Wright’s latest legal salvo, a gargantuan £911 billion ($1,2 trillion) lawsuit filed against Bitcoin Core and Square in particular.

According to the CaseBoard, Wright has filed a giant claim amounting to some £911 billion for “falsely representing that Bitcoin Core Vision/BTC is the original Bitcoin.” The controversial figure continues to claim to be the true inventor of Bitcoin despite continuous disputes and skepticism.

Charles Hoskinson even shared his frustration on Twitter, wondering why Wright wasn’t in prison for “abusing the legal system” through what he labeled as “fantasies and sociopathic delusions”. This happened after Wright filed a lawsuit for £911 billion. This aggressive critique underlines general aversion toward Wright’s controversial legal practices.

A Long-Running Crypto Battle: Hoskinson vs. Wright

The self-proclaimed Satoshi claims those aforementioned entities have misrepresented BTC as Bitcoin’s originator. As one of the more outspoken people in the crypto space, Charles Hoskinson questioned aloud why regulators allowed Wright to continue abusing the courts.

The clash between the controversial entrepreneur and Cardano’s founder has a long history. Last year, Wright was highly critical of Hoskinson and the Cardano project. He accused him of misleading the community and questioning his contributions to the space.

Resistance to Wright’s claims extends across the crypto industry. Hoskinson, therefore, expressed doubts about Wright being Satoshi. He cited differences in knowledge, character, communication style, and a focus on patents that needed to align with Satoshi’s principles.

Hoskinson’s comments reflect a general frustration within the industry at Wright’s contentious history of lawsuits and controversy over his claims. They add to the continuing debate on the question of Wright’s legitimacy and motives.

The Real Satoshi is Still Undiscovered After All

Finally, after a series of rumors, HBO came forward with the mysterious Satoshi Nakamoto, the one behind Bitcoin-Peter Todd. Since he is prominent in the field of cryptography and has frequently commented on Bitcoin developments, several debates were sparked.

During such talk, Todd quickly denied all such claims about him being the founder through his social media accounts.

Earlier, Len Sassaman had also come in focus of Polymarket punters as the real Satoshi Nakamoto in charge of Bitcoin. However, even that has been proved a false alarm.

Since these assumptions have turned out to be pretty wrong, these suppositions bring the crypto community and Charles Hoskinson for that matter – no closer to an answer. Satoshi’s identity, therefore, remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries that has kept crypto enthusiasts guessing.
