Craig Wright who was thought to be Satoshi Nakamoto gets sued, plaintiffs tell he stole $10 bln

Anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto might be Australian scientist and entrepreneur Craig Wright, but according to the materials from 2016, all proofs that he is really that person behind the Bitcoin technology are very scarce. Anyway, he still owns a big sum of bitcoins and has contributed to the development of this cryptocurrency in the past when it was only at its initial project phases. Now he gets sued by the sister of Dave Kleiman, also early Bitcoin enthusiast and developer.

The plaintiff accuses Craig Wright of looting a huge sum of bitcoins in the past which cost approximately $10 billion dollars by now. In response about the complaint to an inquiry on Twitter, Mr. Wright has made a very brief explanation of what really motivates the plaintiff:

Greed

And while the whole set of arguments of the plaintiff might fall into pieces if Wright is right, the sum mentioned in the complaint is one of the biggest in cryptocurrency-related trials of this year.

Interesting fact: when the initial messages about Craig Wright being the one who created Bitcoin appeared, the Australian police and tax services reacted immediately and raided his house - but nothing really life-changing happened to Mr. Wright afterwards. However, this reaction of the law enforcement might be what motivates the real Satoshi Nakamoto to stay anonymous after all this time.
