It is interesting that it is claimed that Craig and Kleiman are stated to have claimed they were working on a digital currency 6 months before bitcoin was released.
They mined ~1.1 million coins in the early days, and apparently / supposedly agreed to split them in some manner. That's all there is to the story up to now, there's still no significant evidence of Wright being Satoshi. His very poor attempt at previously claiming it, combined with what very much looks like Kleiman's estate being ripped off, rather points in the con-man direction as someone else said.
No, it's just one person filing a lawsuit assuming that to be the case.
This is priceless. Imagine Wright truly is a fraud. Then he's now being sued by another fraud, and he might have to settle a law suit with real money to avoid the risk of being exposed as a fraud.
The actual title is “The Man Who Claimed to Invent Bitcoin Is Being Sued for $10 Billion” not “Dave Kleiman’s estate sues Craig Wright for $10B” (helpful for people who don’t recognize either name)
Does it matter? The lawsuit isn't asking for those coins back, it is asking to be paid the value of those coins. Won't the burden then be on Craig to disprove his own claims of ever possessing those coins?
That's quite funny. So it seems Wright is a bit of a con man and made out he was a crypto billionaire and is now being sued for the billions he doesn't actually have.
