Craig Wright and the Billion Dollar Case
Longtime crypto activist and self-proclaimed Bitcoin creator Craig Wright continues to find himself in the throes of a multi-billion dollar bitcoin legal issue. The lawsuit stems from the alleged theft of 1.1 million bitcoin following the death of Dave Kleiman. According to reports, the brother of the late Dave Kleiman claims that his brother’s bitcoins were unlawfully transferred following his untimely death.


Originally, the suit was for $10 billion, but as the price of Bitcoin dropped, it’s now worth around $1 billion. Wright and Kleiman were partners in a Bitcoin mining facility known as W&K Info Defense Research, LLC. Ironically, the case could help to shed light on Bitcoin’s creator as Craig Wright previously claimed to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto. The courts could request proof.

El ingeniero de software y pionero de Bitcoin (BTC) Jeff Garzik fue citado por un Tribunal de Distrito de los Estados Unidos en relación con la demanda de $ 4 mil millones contra Craig Wright, según un documento de Garzik publicado en un tweet el 15 de marzo.

Recordemos que Garzik ya se ha pronunciado con anterioridad en esta entrevista:

"My personal theory is that it’s Floridian Dave Kleiman," Garzik said in an phone interview. "It matches his coding style, this gentleman was self taught. And the Bitcoin coder was someone who was very, very smart, but not a classically trained software engineer.”

Background
At the age of 21, Dave Kleiman was named U.S. Army Soldier of the Year. He received the Army Achievement Medal and a commendation signed by the Secretary of the Army. The commendation said in part, "Appearance, knowledge of general military subjects, current events and other subjects covered coupled with your strong dedication to duty, never failed to produce anything but outstanding results."

After distinguished service in the Army, Dave returned to his hometown and became a sworn law enforcement officer for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO).[3][4] In 1995, a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed, requiring the use of a wheelchair. The life-altering disability did not slow him down for long. He continued working at PBSO and attained the rank of detective. He also worked as a System Security Analyst in the Computer Crimes Division and helped configure the Computer Forensics Lab. Dave went on to work at a number of high tech companies before becoming a partner in a computer forensics business. Kleiman died in his home on April 2013 seemingly of natural causes related to complications from a MRSA infection.[6][1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Kleiman#Background

Computer Security & Cryptography
Some of Dave's most notable work took place at S-doc where his role was Chief Information Security Officer. While there he developed a Windows encryption tool that surpassed NSA, NIST, and Microsoft Common Criteria Guidelines. This technology was used at NASA, U.S. Dept. of Treasury, Office of the Inspector General, and the US Post Office. Cryptography was routinely used at S-doc to develop several products, broadly aimed at reliable and verifiable transmission of data and messages, centered around the idea of an "unalterable, encrypted audit log system".

Bitcoin involvement

In 2011 Kleiman founded the company W&K Info Defense Research LLC (“W&K”) in Florida[5], allegedly to mine bitcoins.

On December 2015 Gizmodo reported that Dave Kleiman may have been involved in the invention of bitcoin based on information uncovered in several leaked documents.[6]

In May 2016, The Economist article had Craig Steven Wright claiming he (under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto) and Dave Kleiman were behind the invention of bitcoin.[7] In February 2018, a brother of Dave initiated a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of the Kleiman estate against Wright over the rights to more than $5,118,266,427.50 worth of bitcoin, claiming Wright defrauded the estate of bitcoins and intellectual property rights.[5][8] The estate alleged that Kleiman was one of the early bitcoin pioneers and worked with Craig Steven Wright on its establishment as a cryptocurrency.[9] The estate also alleges that on January 12, 2009, Kleiman, Wright and two other people performed a recorded bitcoin transaction.[5] The lawsuit claims that between 2008 and 2013 Kleiman and Wright mined over a million bitcoins.[5] According to Craig Wright, Kleiman lost money due to US government seizing of Costa Rica-based Bitcoin exchange called Liberty Reserve leading to Kleiman's poverty.[10]
