If Wright is in legal field, I suppose he is in some way forced to make his Bitcoin sell orders public (taxes, anti-laundering regulations etc). So that it is very much decidable, even if not how much he owns, but how much he is spending and when these particular Bitcoins were created.
- dunkelheit 7y agoAgreed, but this is something that I suppose will be determined in the future proceedings. So it is incorrect to say "Wright is ordered to hand over $5bn". To be fair, the headline states "up to $5bn" which is technically correct but still misleading because this "up to" part is not something that one notices immediately :)
- tomglynch 7y agoIn 2015 the Australian Tax Office searched Craig Wright's home due to possible tax evasion [1]. I'm not sure of the outcome though.
