It seems extremely unlikely they will be able to prove much of anything. The Bitcoin markets in particular are extremely complex: lots of disparate exchanges, actors, and entities all vying for a piece of the pie and some of them are not necessarily acting in line with regulations or norms. How can you possibly prove that one entity is responsible for a global phenomenon that happened over a period of several months? How do you even establish evidence that what happened on one exchange affected another?
- lightedman 7y ago"It seems extremely unlikely they will be able to prove much of anything" Proof isn't exactly a requirement in a civil lawsuit as this is demonstrated to be, given the lawsuit title and the demand for a jury trial. In this case, more of a preponderance of the evidence, circumstantial or not, oddball or not, is what is weighed instead of factual elements of any crime (although those are also considered.) It is up purely to the jury to decide unless they asked for Bench Trial. Proving anything in this case is moot, it depends upon the jury and their thoughts, not what they interpret as law by required element-based prosecution.
