>At a convention on digital currency, rarely does an audience Q&A session include a question as incendiary as, "Why is this fraud allowed to speak at this conference?" But that's how a discussion about bitcoin ended up last year in Seoul.

>In most cases, the expensive prospect of getting sued tends to make rational people keep critical views to themselves. "There's some really broad recognition that the threat of defamation lawsuits really substantially chills speech," says David Greene, senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a civil liberties advocacy group.

>For whatever reason, that did not occur here. Online discussion of Mr Wright reached a peak shortly after his lawsuit against Mr McCormack, and the content was overwhelmingly scathing. During the week following his suit, 65 per cent of posts expressed a negative sentiment, compared with about half before, according to Brand24, which monitors conversations on social media.

>The cryptocurrency business is full of colourful characters. Mr Wright joined the starring cast in late 2015, when Wired magazine and Gizmodo reported that he and Mr Kleiman may have invented bitcoin. A few days later, Wired said Mr Wright may instead be "a brilliant hoaxer." Police raided his home in Australia as part of a tax investigation; he moved to Britain.

>Mr McCormack, the podcaster Mr Wright sued in April, is piling on as he awaits his day in court. He wrote a satirical response to Mr Wright's lawyers, saying, "I find it difficult to understand how I can affect the reputation of your client; this mistakenly states that he has any reputation left."

>In addition to widespread derision, Mr Wright's crusade has inflicted damage on his business interests. He is now pushing a coin called Bitcoin SV, which he says is bitcoin the way Satoshi Nakamoto truly intended.

>Mr Wright's lawsuits drew a harsh rebuke from Zhao Changpeng, the head of one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Binance. Mr Zhao said he was "against fraud," and then Binance delisted bitcoin SV. The coin's market value plummeted 50 per cent over two days
