This Monday a Miami scientist prevailed in a civil lawsuit, which was followed on a cryptocurrency debt valued in billions.

The Florida jury found that Craig Wright did not owe half of 1.1 million Bitcoin to the family of his former partner David Kleiman.

The jury $ 100 million in intellectual property rights to a joint venture between the two men, a fraction of what Kleiman’s attorneys were asking for at trial

This was a tremendous victory for our side,” said Andrés Rivero de Rivero Mestre LLP, the lead attorney representing Wright.

 

Partner of the scientist in the company passed away in 2013

David Kleiman died in April 2013 at the age of 46. Led by his brother Ira Kleiman, his family has claimed that David Kleiman and Wright were close friends and co-created Bitcoin through a partnership.

At the center of the test were 1.1 million Bitcoin, worth roughly $ 50 billion based on Monday prices.

The firm Wright and Kleiman created the first Bitcoin that were created through mining and could only be owned by one person or entity involved with digital currency since its inception, as the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.

 

Wright must prove he is the founder of Bitcoin

The next step for Wright to take is to prove that he is the owner of the largest cryptocurrency. Doing so would give credence to Wright’s claim, first made in 2016, that he is Nakamoto.

 

So far, the origins of Bitcoin have always been a bit of a mystery, which is why this test has attracted so much attention from outsiders.

 

Attorneys for W&K Information Defense Research LLC, the joint venture between the two men, said they were “satisfied” that the jury awarded the $ 100 million in intellectual property rights to the company, which developed software that laid the groundwork for the first blockchains and cryptocurrencies. technologies.
