Craig Wright, who has repeatedly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, is offering a reward to anyone who provides information to identify the individual after the Twitter account known as @hodlonaut, accusing him of carrying out a defamation campaign against him.

According to a CoinGeek publication, Wright's lawyers filed a complaint with the operator of the account on March 29 for "highly defamatory and abusive tweets."

It should be remembered that @hodlonaut was the promoter of the hashtag #CraigWrightIsAFraud, which served as a campaign to declare that Wright was trying to prove that he is the creator of Bitcoin fraudulently. As a result of Wright's actions, @hodlonaut has disabled his Twitter account.

THE BITCOINERS RESPOND

But Wright's decision has not sat well with the bitcoiners community. In fact, despite the attempt to doxing the CEO of nChain with the publication of the reward for personal information, users have expressed solidarity with @hodlonaut.

This person is recognized in the Bitcoin community for creating the #LNTrustChain, a chain of trust on the bitcoin routing network, Lightning Network (LN).

Several well-known influencers and dozens of Twitter users have decided to use the name and profile picture of @hodlonaut, in this way they express their support for the user.

In addition, the #WeAreHodlonaut has begun to circulate, in response to what they consider to have been an unfounded attack, since among the bitcoiners Craig Wright is considered a fraud.

Craig Wright has not offered hard evidence to prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto. He has also been involved in several academic plagiarism scandals that discredit his assertion.

According to his lawyers, Wright is Nakamoto, so there is no fraud in his claim, and the @hodlonaut campaign represents an attack on him. Wright is offering USD 5,000 in Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) who will give him information about @hodlonaut.

He is Satoshi Nakamoto. Produced the Bitcoin report: an electronic cash system between peers in October 2008, sent the first Bitcoin to Hal Finney in January 2009 and played a key role in the development of Bitcoin. He has explained in detail his role on previous occasions.

Among his demands, Wright expects a public apology through the account of @hodlonaut on Twitter, as well as a statement in a public court. In addition, the nCHain CEO expects the operator of @hodlonaut to acknowledge the falsity of his allegations and declare that he is the creator of Bitcoin.
