Did the Bitcoin trial solve the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto?

In today’s Briefing, we go back to a story we did two weeks ago about the inventor of bitcoin. A Florida court has ruled that Craig Wright, the Aussie who says he invented the blockchain currency, won’t have to pay half of his coins to his late business partner... David Kleiman.


Klieman’s family were suing Wright for half of the 70B$ of bitcoin controlled by bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto... a pseudonym Wright says is him. The jury found Wright does not owe Kleiman’s family half of the coins.

We’re joined by Paul Vigna, journalist covering Bitcoin for the Wall Street Journal. He explains, while the trial has not determined IF Craig Wright invented Bitcoin, he will still have to pay around $140 million in compensation for a breach in intellectual property rights related to the company he worked on with Kleiman.

In this Briefing, did the trial find Wright is Nakamoto - and does he have the key to 1.1m Bitcoins worth $70 billion.
