The court invalidated the decision to recover from Craig Wright 500 000 BTC in favor of Kleiman

Florida District Court Judge Beth Bloom invalidates the entrepreneur's caseCraig Wright and his heirsformer partner David Kleiman, according to which Wright was required to pay the Kleiman family half of 1.1 million BTC from Satoshi Nakamoto.

Last August, such a decisionMagistrate Bruce Reinhart received Bruce Reinhart, who ordered Craig Wright to transfer half of the bitcoins allegedly shared with Dave Kleiman, considered one of the possible Satoshi Nakamoto, to Kraiman’s brother. However, according to Wright, access to these coins was lost due to the death of Kleiman.

According to documents executed by Judge Beth Bloomof January 10, the Reinhart decree is considered invalid due to the lack of reliable facts about Bitcoin mining in 2009. Bloom said that at the previous hearing, only questions regarding the amount and location of Craig Wright's bitcoins were considered.

Even considering the fact that Wright and Kleiman wereas equal partners, this has nothing to do with the Wright-owned bitcoins. In addition, the amount of bitcoins at the disposal of the entrepreneur remains unknown, therefore, the decision on recovery cannot have legal force.

In December, Craig Wright presented the court with an electronica letter according to which in January 2020 he should receive private keys to the wallets from which he was going to pay the plaintiff the agreed amount. However, Wright later reported that he still had not been able to obtain these keys, so Bloom ordered Craig Wright to tell the court by February 3 how things were going with the “mysterious courier”, who allegedly was supposed to give him all the necessary data on January 1. Thus, the mystery of "Satoshi's Bitcoins" remains unresolved, and Craig Wright's claim to fame as the creator of Bitcoin — unsubstantiated.

The day before Judge Beth Bloom’s statement, it turned outa few more facts that can dramatically change the course of the trial. Judging by the original document of the Tulip Trust, Craig Wright entrusted all of his crypto assets to Dave Kleiman in 2012, subject to their full return within eight years. This contradicts Ira Kleiman’s charge that Wright seized his brother’s bitcoins. Another document says that Wright does not own half, but only 30% of the shares of the Tulip Trust. However, the court doubts the legality of these documents, as they are printed in a font that appeared in 2015.

In December 2018, the court rejected most of Craig Wright's petitions to dismiss the case due to insufficient reasons.
