Will we finally find out who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Criag Wright claimed to be the mysterious inventor of the revolutionary cryptocurrency. That admission could well cost him. According to an article in Cointelegraph, he is being sued for $5 billion.
The estate of David Kleiman filed suit in the South District Court of Florida.
Wright is accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of bitcoin, now valued over $5 billion.
The official complaint states that Wright took advantage of this and “forged a series of contracts that purported to transfer Dave’s assets to Craig and/or companies controlled by him. Craig backdated these contracts and forged Dave’s signature on them.”
The plaintiff continues in the document, stating that following David Kleiman’s death on April 26, 2013, Wright contacted Kleiman’s estate and disclosed that he and David had worked together to develop Blockchain and Bitcoin.
Wright's response to the allegations came via Twitter.

One of the interesting parts about this suit is that it does not require the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto to be revealed yet this might have to occur to reach a judgment.
Wright also changed his assertion that he is Nakamoto.
