The Australian computer scientist and lawyer has been in the limelight for years for asserting that he is the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous individual or group responsible for creating Bitcoin. Wright has insisted that any offshoots of the digital currency are infringing upon his intellectual property rights, as he is the mastermind behind the original blockchain concept.
The controversy was reignited on Friday when Wright responded affirmatively to a Twitter user asking if Apple was “in breach of copyright” for having the Bitcoin white paper stored on its machines.
