The strange case of David Kleiman and Craig Wright was a long-running one in the one of the mysteries of the elusive modern technology, which is the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of bitcoin.

Computer scientist Craig Wright and his late friend David Kleiman are also among them (self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto). The decision in the case of both of them, which went to Florida court, came on 7 December 2021, but it did not reveal the secret.

Kleiman family, which was led by David Kleiman's brother Ira Kleiman, has accused Wright of defrauding Kleiman of 1.1 million bitcoins and violating intellectual property rights.

A civil trial jury acquitted Wright of giving bitcoins to Kleiman's family due to no evidence that anyone of them was inventor. However, Wright was found guilty of intellectual property rights violations and was ordered to pay $100 million to Kleiman's family in compensatory damages.

Thus ended another case without reference to the inventor of bitcoin.​
