Craig Wright, an Australian entrepreneur who calls himself “the true Satoshi Nakamoto,” said he cannot pay half a million BTC to the family of his former partner Dave Clayman.
Documents filed with the Florida District Court on October 30 said that Wright refuses to participate in the agreement to settle claims for half of the intellectual property and bitcoins that were mined with Dave Kleiman before 2014. As a result, the trial was resumed.
Recall that in February last year, a lawsuit was filed against Wright stating that he had stolen bitcoins by more than $ 5 billion at the exchange rate at that time. Dave’s brother, Ira Kleiman, accused Wright of manipulating business papers, email, and other documentary evidence that confirmed his fraud.
As a result, the court ordered
Wright to provide a complete list of addresses at which 1.1 million BTC attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto should be located. However, he did not do this, citing the inability to access these bitcoins due to the death of Kleiman. According to Wright, they used a complex encryption scheme, and Wright lost access to Satoshi’s state.
“Discussions began at the initiative of Craig. He previously stated that he had enough resources to resolve the dispute, ”said Welvel Friedman, spokeswoman for the prosecution and partner of Roche Freedman LLP.
As a result, another hearing was scheduled in the Wright case with Kleiman, which will be held March 3 next year.
