Craig Wright withdraws his appeal against the verdict in the Hodlonaut case in the Norwegian court.
A month after his defeat in the English court, Craig Wright decided to withdraw his appeal against Magnus Granath, known on X as Hodlonaut, thus ending the nearly five-year legal battle in the Norwegian court.
The legal dispute arose from a series of social media posts in which Hodlonaut referred to Wright as a ‘pathetic scammer,’ ‘cringe,’ and ‘clearly mentally ill,’ arguing that he was not Satoshi Nakamoto. In the legal case held in Oslo, the judge confirmed that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto and ordered him to pay Granath 4,053,750 Norwegian kroner for legal expenses, equivalent to $383,000.
Despite the negative outcome, Wright had decided to appeal the verdict.
Despite the conclusion of the case in Norway, the other defamation charge against Hodlonaut in the United Kingdom remains open.
