Craig Wright’s Cross-Examination Reveals Tulip Trust Details
Craig Wright faced intense scrutiny and questioning on the sixth day of his cross-examination regarding his connections with David Kleiman and the intricacies surrounding the Tulip Trust. The court focused on Kleiman’s involvement in the trust, which Wright had previously claimed managed a significant amount of early mined Bitcoins. Wright’s responses varied, especially when confronted with his previous statement that Kleiman was a trustee. He later claimed he was forced into making that declaration under threat of contempt. The judge also inquired about Wright’s understanding and handling of the trust’s documents, to which Wright asserted he never acted as an official trustee.
Wright Distances Himself from Bitcoin Creation in Blog Posts
The court also questioned Wright about his blog posts, specifically one from January 2009 that could potentially link him to the creation of Bitcoin. Wright distanced himself from managing and authoring the blog, attributing it to a third party. He maintained that the content of his blogs did not definitively prove him to be Satoshi Nakamoto, further complicating the narrative around Bitcoin’s creator.
Kleiman and His Connection to Craig Wright
David Kleiman, a computer forensics expert who passed away in 2013, became widely known within the cryptocurrency community due to his alleged involvement in the creation of Bitcoin. After Kleiman’s death, a legal battle emerged between his estate and Wright. The estate claimed that Kleiman played a role in Bitcoin’s creation and therefore deserved a portion of Wright’s supposed Bitcoin fortune. Despite these claims and legal disputes, there is no concrete evidence linking Kleiman directly to the development of Bitcoin.
