Want some bitcoin gossip?
Here, have some bitcoin gossip!
If you don’t know who Craig Wright is: he’s an early advocate of bitcoin, and who is terribly boldly claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
Craig recently added to his list of bold claims when he said he lost 110,000 bitcoins when the Mount Gox stock market collapsed in 2014.
Now, in itself – that’s not a bold statement.
…but I’m trying to get some of those 110,000 BTC back from the people responsible for making Mt. Gox Customers, without be able to show any documentation proving he ever owned them?
That’s daring!
…that is also, potentially, fraud.
And right now, a UK court is seeking to have Craig’s claim struck out on the grounds of fraudulent abuse of process.
Anyway, that’s it. Now you know it!
