The defamation case Wright v. McCormack is telling

The defamation case of Wright v. McCormack is telling in multiple ways, not only in the result itself, but also in how the BTC world and cryptoverse have reacted to it.

In Wright v. McCormack, Australian/UK scientist Dr. Craig S. Wright sued podcaster Peter McCormack for libel (defamation in writing). McCormack in a series of posts on social media called Wright a fraud for claiming himself to be Satoshi.  Wright sued McCormack in a UK court for libel.

The outcome in the lower court: Wright won a judgment against McCormack on all libel accounts. But the judge awarded Wright only a symbolic £1 for the damages.
