So the London High Court has given the green light for the law firm Ontier LLP, representing CSW Faketoshi, to serve legal papers to 16 Bitcoin devs. They're trying to get their hands on 800,000 BTC from the 1Feex wallet and the Mt. Gox hack. What’s wild is that some of these devs are linked to the Bitcoin Association for BSV, and it includes people like Wladimir Van Der Laan, Jonas Schnelli, Pieter Wuille, Marco Falke, Samuel Dobson, Michael Ford, Cory Fields, George Dombrowski, Matthew Corallo, Peter Todd, Gregory Maxwell, Eric Lombrozo, Roger Ver, Amaury Sechet, and Jason Cox. Most of us recognize Greg Maxwell who’s still around here and the infamous Roger Ver, known as MemoryDealers. Amaury Sechet had ties with Roger on the BCH project before he launched his own BCHA coin. This lawsuit is totally separate from the earlier one about the Bitcoin whitepaper. If you want to get into the details, check out the press release from Ontier.

Faketoshi is delusional if he thinks that he can easily get those bitcoins, wasn't he suspected back then on the multiple occasions that Mt. Gox got hacked and thousands of bitcoin got stolen? And now he acts like he is the victim in this story.

Craig Steven Wright is a clown and fraudster who has been trying to obtain copyright for Bitcoin for many years. It is understandable because it is a lot of money. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/legal/the-trial-that-could-end-craig-wrights-satoshi-claim-for-good-started-today "The trial is of particular significance because it stands to affect a number of other upcoming court cases, perhaps most importantly including a lawsuit filed by Wright against several Bitcoin Core contributors. If COPA is able to prove that Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, he is unlikely to stand a chance in these cases. But if the High Court judge rules that Wright is in fact Bitcoin’s creator, it could eventually result in the Australian computer scientist gaining copyright over the Bitcoin white paper and source code, which could severely stifle the Bitcoin development process. Already, Wright’s actions appear to have had somewhat of a chilling effect on the open source development community."
