A United States District Judge has overturned a previous sanction that ordered Craig Wright to give up half of his Bitcoins to the estate of Dave Kleiman.
According to court documents filed with a U.S. district court in Florida on Jan. 10, Judge Beth Bloom ruled that U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart’s sanction from August was not proper.
This sanction was ruled not proper because the deemed facts (that Wright had an equal partnership with Kleiman) do not specifically relate to the discovery issue (a list of Wright’s Bitcoin holdings).
It was also determined that even if the court had accepted the deemed facts, the discovery abuse would remain “uncured,” as the court still doesn’t know how many Bitcoins Wright owns.
