Mr. Wright is a person who proclaimed himself as 'Satoshi Nakamoto is me' on May 2, 2016. At the time, Wright explained that 'I and my former colleague Dave Kleiman devised the Bitcoin system,' but his bereaved family after Craig died of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in 2013. 'Craig Wright unfairly occupies 1.1 million Bitcoins in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, which was mined in collaboration with Dave Kleiman,' and filed a lawsuit seeking the return of half of that, 550,000 Bitcoins. I did. At the beginning of the proceedings, 550,000 Bitcoin was worth about 500 billion yen, but due to repeated increases in Bitcoin prices, it has reached about 3.6 trillion yen as of December 13, 2021.

The lawsuit that lost the case of Wright in 2019 trial judgment downlink, but Wright was ordered to pay a bit coin of the best 500 billion yen, the compensation instruction in the subsequent second trial has been rejected.

Then, on December 6, 2021, as a result of a verdict by a jury, Mr. Wright's claim that he was 'not obliged to return' was accepted, and Mr. Clayman's bereaved family's claim that he 'stolen Bitcoin' was rejected. Meanwhile, the bereaved family's allegations about the intellectual property rights behind the early blockchain technology were accepted, and Mr. Wright was ordered to pay $ 100 million in compensatory damages. ..

One of the reasons why the series of proceedings received so much attention is the mystery 'Is Satoshi Nakamoto really Craig Wright?' The market capitalization of Bitcoin has attracted so much attention that it is said to reach about 1.2 trillion dollars (about 136 trillion yen), but the inventor is said to be completely unknown because the name Satoshi Nakamoto is only known. situation. In this ruling, Mr. Wright was ordered to pay Bitcoin in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, and if Mr. Wright actually sent Bitcoin in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, Mr. Wright would be Satoshi Nakamoto. It was possible to prove it.

However, as mentioned above, Mr. Wright does not need to touch Bitcoin in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto because the request for the return of Bitcoin in the name of Satoshi Nakamoto was rejected in this judgment. Before the ruling, Mr. Wright had publicly stated that 'if he wins, he will prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto', but in 2016 he said that he would 'provide irrefutable proof', but in the end he proved it. It is reported that 'it is unlikely that Mr. Wright will prove that he is Satoshi Nakamoto' because he has a history of escaping without.
