WizSec Case Study on Craig Wright vs Dave Kleiman: Satoshi’s Bitcoin that Never Existed?

More Controversy Over the Bitcoins in the Dave Kleiman Versus Craig Wright Case: They Don’t Exist

The case between the estate of Dave Kleiman and Craig Wright (https://bitcoinexchangeguide.com/satoshi-nakamoto-craig-wright-dave-kleiman-phil-wilson-bitcoin-creators-revealed/) has gripped the crypto community since the beginning of the year. We just learned new details about the bitcoins involved in the dispute: those bitcoins might not exist. In fact, those bitcoins might have never existed.

The issue was first spotted by the bitcoin security experts at WizSec back in February when details of the court case first appeared online. The documents revealed to the public highlight a number of mysterious wallet addresses where the missing bitcoins are alleged to be hiding.

Last week, we mentioned that one wallet was associated with Mt. Gox. In other words, Craig Wright was trying to claim that the wallets he and Kleiman mined ended up in a Mt. Gox bitcoin wallet – which seems unlikely.

New research, however, has revealed that none of the addresses in the court documents have a connection to Wright or Kleiman.

In fact, it seems likely that Wright looked at a “rich list” of bitcoin addresses and randomly selected several top addresses.

The ongoing lawsuit alleges that Craig Wright owes the estate of Dave Kleiman $10 billion. Craig Wright, the Australian man who has previously claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, partnered with American computer security specialist Dave Kleiman in the early days of the bitcoin network. The pair allegedly mined over one million bitcoins in 2009 and 2010. It’s also possible that both Wright and Kleiman developed bitcoin and both used the Satoshi Nakamoto identity. The lawsuit, in fact, specifically claims that both Wright and Kleiman developed bitcoin along with an unnamed third party.

The whole case revolves around 1,100,000 bitcoins. These bitcoins were worth a few hundred thousand dollars when Wright and Kleiman first mined them. Today, the sum is worth billions.

I had to stop here because the article is very big, but whoever wants to read, just click where it comes: "read more".

If you read every article you will realize that we are seeing a story that if any director of hollywood made any movie would probably win some Oscar. I spent hours reading about this story and it seems to be the kind of story that must be in theaters. With this kind of attitudes only lead many governments not to take seriously bitcoin

You are right, that looks more like a heist movie plot than any other regular scenario that we are already used to with. Vanishing 1.1 million Bitcoin into thin air is nothing less than daylight robbery. However, the most fascinating part of the article is how Craig Wright or Dave Kleiman were never involved in the case yet it seems like they are the ones to be blamed here.

It took me at least 20 minutes to read the whole article but definitely it was worth the read. I have been in the crypto scene since 2017 and saw quite a few pump and dump and manipulation cases which has often created the doubt in my mind about the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and other cryptos. Then there's incident like this which makes me think what am I even doing among these scammers and robbers.

I have previously read somewhere where people claimed Craig Wright was behind the name of Satoshi but I just laughed it off. Though this article doesn't really prove anything but the origin of their affiliation with Bitcoin surely makes me think hard that if they were somehow related with Satoshi and the whole heist case that you have shared. Really saddening if that is true.
