The price of the cryptocurrency created by two controversial hard forks of Bitcoin is increasing dramatically today. Bitcoin SV gained by around 5. 4 percent over the last 24 hours on a day when most other leading crypto assets traded sideways.
The ongoing legal dispute between the self-proclaimed creator of crypto, Craig Wright, and the estate of his former business partner, Dave Kleiman, is far from over. The latest filing is sure to confuse, enthuse and amuse you in equal measure, as it lays out a memorandum of joint discovery before the case heads back to court.
Once again, the curious case of Craig Wright has surfaced in Florida’s Southern District Court. Just like previous encounters, this one also involves Craig Wright and his counsel scurrying to find the means to block Ira Kleiman’s attempts to dig deeper into the situation.
