Rivero Mestre wins $600 billion Bitcoin trial on behalf of Dr. Craig Wright

28 Feb 2022 Latam

Rivero Mestre is extremely pleased that after four years of intense litigation and seven days of arduous jury deliberation, in a case that was widely thought to be unwinnable, the jury ruled in favor of their client Dr. Craig Wright, also known as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Rivero Mestre represented Dr. Craig Wright in a $600 billion trial that the media is calling “the trial of the century” and the “biggest trial in history.”

The lawsuit alleged that Dr. Wright stole half of the 1.1 million bitcoin fortune from David Kleiman, his supposed business partner, and that Kleiman, jointly with Dr. Wright, created Bitcoin and blockchain technology, thereby generating an alleged 50% stake in the cryptocurrency technology.

On December 6, 2021, Rivero Mestre obtained a jury verdict in favor of Dr. Wright. The jury ruled that Dr. Wright was not business partners with Kleiman and that Kleiman’s estate was entitled to none of the multibillion-dollar Satoshi fortune.

During the trial, the team presented compelling evidence that Dr. Wright is the sole inventor of Bitcoin and is in fact Satoshi Nakamoto.
