 <p class="is-style-lead">Craig Wright, claiming to be Bitcoin’s creator, won a notable victory in a U.S. Appeals Court, sparking renewed discussions in the cryptocurrency community.</p>
 <p>Craig Wright, who claims to have created Bitcoin, recently won a big <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="court" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/court.html">court</a> case in the U.S. Appeals Court. The case was regarding Bitcoin that he and the late David Kleiman mined together over ten years ago. The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="court" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/court.html">court</a> decided that Wright and Kleiman were not in a legal partnership.</p>
 <p>Now led by David’s brother Ira, the Kleiman family could not disprove the original <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="court" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/court.html">court</a>’s ruling, and also had difficulty proving that Wright was obfuscating attempts at carrying out the legal process, and thus charges were dismissed.</p>
 <p>The ruling confirms a decision made by a jury in Florida in 2021, in which the jury decided if the Kleiman family had the right to half of the Bitcoin (BTC) fortune, worth up to $36 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="billion" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/billion.html">billion</a> per Wright’s request for punitive damages.</p>
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="court" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/court.html">court</a> ruled that Wright’s lawyers erred in digging in to the Kleiman brothers’ relationship, but that it ultimately did not alter the jury’s decision making process.</p>

 <p>The appeal did not have to do with the $100 million Wright was told to pay to a company started by Kleiman, which is still an ongoing dispute.</p>
 <p>Wright is also suing crypto developers in the U.K. due to not adding a Bitcoin backdoor for his company, Tulip Trading. Wright requested this to retrieve crypto he says he lost access to.</p>
 <p>In 2022, a judge in Norway said it was okay to call Wright a “fraud” and “scammer” for saying he is Satoshi Nakamoto, a pseudonym for the creator of Bitcoin. Wright is still in the process of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="appeal" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/appeal.html">appeal</a>ing this decision.</p>
