The actual situation is this: Wright does not control those bitcoins, because he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, just a conman.

He tried to explain the fact that he can't control them with the nonsense story about blind trusts, which the court soundly rejected for being a very obvious lie.

The court never decided on whether or not he was Satoshi Nakamoto, as both parties are happy to proceed on the assumption that he is.

Expanding on that, from TFA:

"Reinhart said at the start of his ruling the court “is not required to decide, and does not decide” whether Wright is Nakamoto, and the court was not required to decide and did not decide how much bitcoin Wright controls today."
