Dave died alone and poor with no assets
Wrong, Dave had 350,000 BTC which his idiot brother disposed of.
half of all of IP
how much is half of 0, CSW has zero IP this days
First of all learn to use quotes, then if you want to be taken seriously and don't want to be with r0ach on the ignore list you got to cite you sources like the big boys do (and please no more coingeek, i already lost few IQ points from that site today)
Not keeping track of all articles read over the years, here is a random one:
https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/bitcoin-craig-wrightIt had been suggested, however, that as one of the founders of bitcoin, he actually passed away with some 350,000 bitcoins sitting on an encrypted USB drive he kept on him at all times.
Wright confirms Kleiman did indeed have 350,000 bitcoins.
January 1, 2013 BTC is $13,56
April 26, 2013 BTC = $135,60
The whole court drama came about with CSW contacting Dave's father and told him to hang on to the hard-drive as it might be worth a lot of money. By that time the house most likely was cleared - cleaned and on the market. (Extreme case of saving the penny and throwing away pounds)
Let's remember Ira never visited his very ill brother once, not in hospital or at home.
It has been suggested? really that's your citation
So now we're trusting the guy who's been proven a fraud in court? ok let's look at the citation about mysterious
encrypted USB drive, but let me help you by getting the context.
But many other claims by Wright in the story don't stand up to scrutiny. Take his story about his friend Dave Kleiman
...It had been suggested, however, that as one of the founders of bitcoin, he actually passed away with some 350,000 bitcoins sitting on an encrypted USB drive he kept on him at all times
...Wright confirms Kleiman did indeed have 350,000 bitcoins. Yet in explaining why he didn't sell, Wright says, "It wasn't worth much then. Dave died a week before the value went up by 25 times."
...This goes unquestioned, but it's not remotely true...It was baffling: why lie? What was being hidden here?
Faketoshi testified under oath that he had some proprietary HD algo (before HD wallets were even created) that all block rewards went to, but the master key was in a tulip trust that no one had access to, thus why he only listed first 60 or so public address and didn't know the rest. Are you saying that there is no tulip trust and he had access to those BTC? Are you calling Faketoshi a liar?
Best quote from the article though
When I call Kleiman's former colleague at Computer Forensics LLC, Patrick Paige, and let him know I'm working on a story about Craig Wright, the first thing he says to me is: "Is he on suicide watch yet?"
