And regardless of whatever ignorant nonsense franky is conjecturing, the court doesn't have to rule that Craig is Satoshi or the Tulip Trust exists in order for Ira Kleiman to be entitled to half of whatever it is the court finds was developed during their partnership. We all know its likely nothing, and half of nothing is still nothing, but we'll need to wait for the court to catch on to this.
The amusing thing here is that the plaintiff (and the court!) are allowed to take the defendant's word for it when they want to.
Don't tell me that you are making franky1's leap of logic here? (I see in your subsequent post(s) that you seem to be making this argument with a kind of hypothetical jest - rather than really believing such a statement, but I will respond anyhow.... see below)
The court is not taking defendant's word. They are just narrowing down regarding what is contested, and if certain facts or issues are not contested, then the court does not need to resolve that portion or those issues, unless it is relevant to the case and the court
sua sponte believes that it must resolve an issue that is not being raised or contested by the parties (not common that a court will raise
sua sponte issues).
So, for example, if the court is acknowledging that neither party contests whether Craig is Satoshi and whether Craig had a partnership with dave kleinman, then those issues do not need to be resolved because both parties agree to that part.
The court then focuses on the factual parts that need to be resolve in order to make a ruling... However, maybe down the road, the court might determine that something that the parties have agreed to does need to be resolved, then the court will ask the parties to present evidence or to brief on those kinds of questions... otherwise, when the court rules, it may well accept as facts that craig is satoshi and that craig had a partnership with Dave, even though there is no fucking way that those matters could be proven, but for the purposes of the case, it is not centrally material.. even though indirectly the court has conceded those points of the case without ruling on them directly..
These kinds of things happen all the time in the law.. Courts rarely seek clarification of facts that are stipulated by the parties and that are therefore not relevant to the issues that are directly in front of the court to be decided.
If I go announcing from the rooftops that you and I had a partnership that earned 20 billion dollars which I have in my possession, even though it's all a total lie you can go to court and sue me for your half of the 20 billion and likely win.
Exactly... if you do not contest the partnership and if you do not contest the $20billion that you proclaimed to have in your possession, then you better damned well be ready to pay up your $10billion.
Unless I recant my claims I'm going to be screwed:
That's right. You are left in a dilemma, and you better decide otherwise you are quite likely to get a judgement for $10billion against you.. maybe even more because you are a pain in the ass, too.
Because there never was a partnership I won't be able to prove that its terms didn't entitle you to an equal share, nor will I be able to demonstrate that I paid you out-- or any of the other facts that would otherwise move things from the default assumption that half of the proceeds from our partnership were yours. In fact, if I try to prove those things, I'll just make myself look more and more dishonest as you continue to show those proofs were forgeries. -- and that is exactly what has happened in Wright's case.
That's right. CSW has painted his lil selfie into a corner.
So even though that 20bn doesn't exist it would be utterly unsurprising that the court would go ahead and award you 10bn plus damages. Now, you can't collect that 10bn (because it doesn't exist) but you can go ahead and collect from me whatever I do have-- by getting court orders to seizes assets or garnish wages.
That is be called: koreck.
You better gather all your lil items and put up a garage sale for all ur lil tinglies.
The courts are an adversarial system. The court itself isn't trying to get at the truth, it's just arbitrating legal combat between the parties. In the US (and generally, common law) tradition you're totally free to screw yourself over, if you so choose. If someone wants to tell a dumb lie and stick to it, the court is happy to let them suffer the consequences.
No argument here.
Wright could have avoided all this by simply responding to the lawsuit by admitting that he was committing fraud on the ATO and his investors, that he and Dave's "partnership" was limited to some failed government bids, and that they didn't mine any Bitcoin much less create the Bitcoin system. ... but if he did that he'd expose himself to criminal prosecution, destroy any potential for future income, and potentially even get himself assassinated by one of his shady victims. With that trade-off its not hard to see why he'd choose to roll the dice and risk a likely civil judgement of tens of billions.
There might have been other options, too... but sure, that was likely one of his other most viable of options.. that was not really a great option, either, as you acknowledge.
i said my stance so many times. and it has not changed.
but a certain few others love their 'if's and maybes. and hopes IRA gets 410k coins.
a certain few others love their if's and maybes that the court will find something abut the partnership developments.
(facepalm)
Yes. You have stuck to your guns about things that have not happened yet.
You have also stuck to your guns about your stupid-ass lame theories that involve the intentions of the parties, including your assertion that Ira's intention is the same as CSW... which is ridiculous on the face and even more ridiculous when you attempt to defend such nonsense that is neither backed up by fact or logic to support your fantasylandia conclusion(s).
