Magnus Granath, known on Twitter as "Hodlonaut," won a defamation case against Craig Wright on Thursday, a Norwegian judge ruled.

Wright will have to pay Granath's legal fees after a weekslong trial. Granath sued Wright in Norway to try and preempt a defamation suit Wright planned to bring in the U.K.
