Craig Wright lies about Dave Kleiman's death

According to an excerpt from an upcoming documentary, Craig Wright claimed that his former partner Dave Kleiman overdosed on drugs he had bought on the Silk Road. However, Kleiman's publicly accessible death certificate shows that he died from coronary artery disease.

Wright claims former partner Dave Kleiman overdosed.

Craig Wright, the chief scientist at nChain and the self-proclaimed creator of Bitcoin, has been caught red-handed lying about the death of his former partner and associate.

The issue, Wright said, was close to his heart as his former partner Dave Kleiman died of a drug overdose.

Wright and Kleiman were involved in a number of companies together and have reportedly mined over 1 million Bitcoins until Kleiman's death in 2013.

Death certificate shows Kleiman died from heart disease.

Dave Kleiman's death, while untimely, hasn't been caused by a drug overdose.

The confusion surrounding the circumstances of Kleiman's death was a fertile ground for Wright's lies-back in 2015, Kleiman's partner Carter Conrad told Gizmodo that he remembers hearing Kleiman had died from an MRSA infection.

Kleiman's official death certificate debunks all of these theories.

In the report, medical examiner Reinhard Motte said that a branch of Kleiman's left coronary artery was critically narrowed, reducing the flow of blood to his heart and ultimately causing his death.
