Craig Wright to Go Against Court Decision Using…Hurricane Dorian?

The Craig Wright vs Kleiman saga gets sweeter. Or not really. This time, the saga well known Australian businessman and computer scientist is appealing against a court ruling that puts half of his Bitcoin fortune at stake. Only this time he is appealing using the Hurricane Dorian as a plot to not pay the Bitcoins.

Mr. Wright aims to challenge a court decision in a ruling that went in favor of one Ira Kleiman. Ira Kleiman is a brother to the late Dave Kleiman who was a forensic computer expert until his death in 2013. Craig Wright who openly claims to have been part of the team that invented bitcoin is being sued for close to $10 billion on accounts of trying to illegally seize Dave Kleiman’s bitcoin holdings.

This was formalized by a magistrate ruling on the 26^th of August last month. Magistrate Bruce Reinhart concluded on the ruling that Wright must give back 50% of the bitcoins he mined before 2014 to Kleiman estate.

Craig Wright, on the other hand, is not giving in that easily. The businessman is not just giving Kleiman estate bitcoins worth billions of shillings that easily. At the moment, the computer scientist has already filed a motion pleading for a time extension before he can challenge the court order by the judge. His complaint is that the approach of hurricane Dorian towards Florida has forced them to turn their attention towards preparing for the same.

This has, in turn, reduced their concentration and ability to work on the court matter within the given time. In a document he recently filed, he expresses his dissatisfaction towards magistrate Bruce Reinhart pointing out that he does not feel the ruling was done fairly with all matters considered.

Citing rule 72 from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Wright suggests that he be given an extra 14 days in order to file his challenge against the ruling.
