This is hilarious. So Craig Wright, in his continuing claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto (yet still refusing to prove it trivially), has -- naturally -- also claimed to own all of the Bitcoin that only Satoshi Nakamoto could have mined.

Somebody claimed half of that and lost. But $100m worth of intellectual property rights were awarded to some venture, meaning that Wright might owe someone a great deal of money now.

Well, according to the article, "Wright said he would prove his ownership if he were to win at trial", so I guess that will be finally settled soon.

$100 m was awarded to "W&K Info Defense" and its interesting, that 75% stocks owns he and his ex-Wife. Only 25% was Dave Kleiman and whose are disputed in separate lawsuit. So basically Craig Wright have to pay to himself.
So what is the basis used by the other party to claim half of the coins? And what’s the reason it wasn’t awarded?
