Images shared by Craig Wright to his X (formerly Twitter) account appear to back up suggestions by the UK High Court that he could be in China.

On Tuesday, Wright posted pictures depicting a green valley and a bridge in the middle of a gorge. Describing the scene as “absolutely magnificent,” he claimed that the pictures were of an outing with his wife but didn’t reveal any more details.

However, using Google’s reverse image search, it soon becomes obvious that the image is a photograph of the Tiger Leaping Gorge located on the Jinsha River in the Yunnan province of China.

Wright’s whereabouts have been a mystery since the conclusion of his UK court battle with the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA).

As a result of this case, the High Court approved two injunctions against Wright and referred him to the Crown Prosecution Service to determine if he should be charged with perjury. His assets were also frozen to prevent him from evading court costs.

The elusive Aussie is currently attempting to appeal against podcaster Peter McCormack and COPA and according to the UK Civil Appeal case tracker, he submitted a third appeal on Monday relating to a May 20 court judgment involving COPA.

During the appeal proceedings, the High Court noted that Wright could be traveling across the UTC +7 time zone which would line up with a potential China trip.

It’s worth noting, however, that today’s photos shared by Wright do not confirm his whereabouts. Indeed, he may have posted the images from elsewhere to disguise his real location.

All we can say with any degree of certainty is that he’s been kayaking and has filmed himself inside a closet.
