    In Kleiman’s sensational lawsuit against Wright, a new turn: the court of the Southern District of California ordered nChain senior researcher and self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto to disclose the number of bitcoins he owned as of December 31, 2013, thereby satisfying the plaintiff’s claim.

    Thus, in addition to providing information about Bitcoin-capital, Wright is obliged to disclose details of the functioning of a blind trust, to which a certain number of Bitcoins were transferred in 2011, and also to name under oath the names of all trustees of this trust and beneficiaries. In addition, he will probably have to affirm or deny under oath that he controls the bitcoins that are in trust.

    A senior researcher at nChain has time until May 15 to fulfill court requirements.

    Recall that in February 2018, Ira Kleiman, the brother of the late computer forensic scientist and mathematician Dave Kleiman, who is associated with the creation of Bitcoin, sued Craig Wright, accusing the latter of appropriating about 1.1 million BTC, which allegedly belonged to Kleiman.

    The Australian entrepreneur and mathematician were once partners with W & K Info Defense Research, therefore, in addition to 1.1 million BTC, Ira Kleiman also claims compensation for her brother’s intellectual property.

    Information about the possible involvement of the mathematician in the creation of Bitcoin first appeared in 2015, when the Gizmodo and Wired publications called Craig Wright a possible founder of cryptocurrency hiding under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.

    WizSec specialists then analyzed Kleiman’s claims and concluded that neither Wright nor the mathematician were more likely to ever have owned such a number of bitcoins.

    One of the latest curiosities of the trial was the correspondence submitted to the court by an Australian businessman. According to him, the demonstrated conversation with the mathematician took place in 2012. But then it turned out that the PGP signature was generated using a fake key.

    Thus, the correspondence was most likely fabricated in early 2014, after the death of Kleiman. In this regard, Wright was forced to exclude a passage from the evidence base.
