Australian, alleged creator of bitcoin, achieves victory in trial in Miami
After more than a week of deliberations, the jury largely sided with Craig Wright, a computer scientist who had been sued by the family of his partner David Kleiman, who died in 2013.
As part of the civil trial, in which Wright was accused of fraud, the jury, however, ordered the payment of 100 million dollars of intellectual property to the company that both had founded in 2011, according to the specialized media Law360 , which covered the trial.
This is a figure well below half of the resources requested by the defendant in bitcoin, the best-known cryptocurrency on the market.
“This is not bad at all,” Wright told Law360, noting that he was “relieved.”
Ira Kleiman filed the civil lawsuit in 2018 against Wright, who calls himself Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym of the mysterious creator of bitcoin.
