Computer scientist Craig Wright faces potential criminal charges of perjury and forgery in the COPA vs. Wright case.

Wright falsely claimed to be Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.

British prosecutors are considering charging Wright for providing false testimony and large-scale forgery.

Justice James Mellor has referred Wright's misconduct to the CPS, citing deceit and fraud.

Wright must post a legal notice on his website admitting he is not Nakamoto and halt related legal proceedings for six months.

The judge suggests a criminal investigation may be needed due to Wright's alleged attempts to silence Bitcoin developers and control the network.

Australian authorities are also investigating Wright for perjury, and his current whereabouts are unknown.

These developments tarnish Wright's credibility and emphasize the need for transparency in the cryptocurrency space.

Bitcoin's current trading price is $63,850 amid the ongoing controversy over its true creator.
