Craig Wright vs. Peter McCormack Libel Trial Gets Underway

The trial has finally begun in the UK and is expected to last for two days. The trial is taking place at the same time as the Dubai BSV Global Blockchain Convention, one in which Wright was expected to be among the top speakers.

Australian computer scientist and entrepreneur, Dr. Craig Wright, claims to be a co-creator of Bitcoin. McCormack was among his biggest detractors and Wright claims the individual has libeled him via the popular social media platform Twitter.

There is a bit of an irony that "Craig hating" tweets were flooding Twitter on Monday.

Gambling911.com will continue to monitor the outcome of this trial.
