A filing showing the list of addresses that were supposed to prove that controversial figure Craig Wright was Satoshi Nakamoto, has been unsealed.
Deeper inspection of the list showed that the blocks Wright claims to have mined are merely a "Lazy copy-paste from the blockchain," researchers from Wizsec Security found.
Craig Wright's lawyers submit list of Bitcoin addressesOne of the most controversial figures in the crypto industry, Craig Wright, has been embroiled in a series of lawsuits that have challenged the claims that he is Satoshi Nakamoto.
Wright's attorneys successfully met the deadlines but left the entire crypto community disappointed as the list of his bitcoin addresses remained redacted in the official documents.
A bitcoin security specialist analyzed the court filings and found that the information provided by Wright was most likely false.
Wright's filing a "Lazy copy-paste job"As part of a previous court filing of some of his Bitcoin addresses, Wright claimed that he did not remember the specific addresses that would prove he mined the first blocks on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Upon further review of Wright's unsealed documents, WizSec's Kim Nilssen found that Wright just scraped the blockchain for early block reward beneficiaries and claimed those as his own addresses.
The list of the first 70 block reward addresses, not including the Genesis block, line up perfectly with the redacted list Wright filed to the court.
The crypto community reacted to the news by calling Wright's listing of 70 publicly known blocks "Completely meaningless," as he failed to provide any cryptographic evidence of ownership.
