Two separate investigations published Tuesday, by Wired and Gizmodo, identified Australian businessman Craig Steven Wright as a key figure in the development of Bitcoin. According to both publications, Wright may have developed the digital currency with Dave Kleiman, an American computer forensics analyst who died in 2013.
Australian authorities raided a residence in the suburbs of Sydney following the articles' publication, according to the Guardian. The Australian Federal Police confirmed that a search had taken place but said it wasn't related to Bitcoin.
