| He has a separate lawsuit suing over that... :-/ He's suing a dozen current and former Bitcoin developers (including myself) alleging that we had a fiduciary duty to introduce a backdoor into bitcoin (which he claims we could do unilaterally) to help him recover coins he claims lost (but which were pretty obviously never his at all). He carefully constructed that case to operate against coins that no one associated with Satoshi and which Wright says he purchased separately after Bitcoin's launch. Because of this he expects this case to not be struck out by virtue of his loss on the identity case. :( We knocked out this claim on a summary basis only to have it reinstated by the court of appeals. > (and why is anyone else even giving him so much as 5 minutes?) Because the courts don't have enough mechanisms to cheaply and quickly knock out well funded bullshit claims. Most people were doing pretty well at ignoring Wright until he started filing lawsuits -- which can't so easily be ignored. The downside of all that ignoring is that in darkness he was able to amass more victims, significant resources, and support. Casting a wide net, but not one wide enough to include his legal representatives, there are well over 300 people employed in support of Wright's activities. |
