Craig Wright says he can’t appear in court in December for COPA lawsuit due to autism and Christmas schedule

Craig Wright claimed that due to his severe autism and the scheduling of Christmas, he was unable to attend the December court hearing. He was previously accused of contempt of court in a legal application submitted to the Cryptocurrency Open Patent Alliance (COPA).

Bird and Bird, the law firm representing COPA, claimed that Wright violated his injunction by deleting online notices and filing lawsuits against Jack Dorsey's Square Up and BTC Core.

In addition, COPA is seeking to suspend Wright's lawsuit and related court proceedings until the contempt of court lawsuit is resolved.

COPA lawyer Jonathan Hough said, "Wright is trying to evade the consequences of his actions. He may want to avoid the police or avoid being detained."
