Self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor Craig Wright has appeared to claim that he was the hacker of Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox in 2011, when 79,956 Bitcoin—worth $751 million today—was stolen.
In a letter sent to Bitcoin services provider Blockstream, Wright’s law firm SCA Ontier alleges that he has control over two Bitcoin addresses. One of the addresses specified is the same address that received the Bitcoin stolen from Mt. Gox, according to then Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles.
“The 1Feex address contains ~80k BTC stolen from MtGox in March 2011. Craig Wright is claiming to have been in control of this address until recently, admitting legal liability for damages and interest?” said Karpelès on Twitter. Decrypt has seen the letter and received confirmation that it is real.

Bitcoin block explorers confirm that the address currently contains 79,956 Bitcoin which is “unspent.”
“Just so we're clear, Craig Wright has just openly admitted (via his lawyers) to be the guy that stole 80k BTC from Mtgox. The screenshots below show the court documents indicating the "1Feex" address is where the stolen Mtgox funds were sent,” tweeted Monero developer Riccardo Spagni.
In the letter, Wright’s lawyers claim that access to this account was stolen from him on February 5, 2020. And yet, bizarrely, they want Blockstream to do something about it.
“Tulip and Dr Wright believe that, as those responsible for the “Bitcoin” Core blockchain (BTC), you have duties in relation to transactions on that blockchain in circumstances where you have notice of the interests involved, including in particular avoiding illegitimate transactions being entered on the blockchain where you have notice of the same,” the letter states.
It’s been an expensive week for users of the Ethereum blockchain. In the last two days one user managed to spend $5.2 million in fees to make just two transactions—and one of them was only for $130! And now, a third transaction has taken place by another user, albeit for a fee of just $500,000, which seems small in comparison. And these absurd transactions are prompting far-fetched theories. While initially thought to be a bug, it appears an exchange is being blackmailed. Image: Shutterstock. “T...
The letter states it wants to put Blockstream on notice that the funds still belong to Wright and that the company should not attempt to move them or allow them to move. It seems to assert that Blockstream runs the Bitcoin network and is responsible for transactions that move across it, even though this is not true. Bitcoin is run by a decentralized community of 10,500 nodes around the world.
Wright’s lawyers also claim that a company called Tulip Trading Limited has the rights to the Bitcoin network and its name. Whatever will be next?

The tokenization industry has gained momentum at breakneck speed. New use cases are continually emerging, with Boston Consulting Group projecting that the total size of this nascent sector could reach $16 trillion by 2030. Others believe it might take a little extra time. McKinsey recently forecast that the market capitalization of tokenized assets will hit $2 trillion by the end of the decade—and potentially $4 trillion in a bullish scenario. That would eclipse the current value of all cryptocu...
Stackup, an enterprise-grade platform for managing on-chain business operations, said on Friday that it secured $4.2 million in seed funding. The Los Angeles-based firm, which previously built account abstraction tech for Coinbase and Trust Wallet, said it will use the funds to further develop its platform, which gives businesses “centralized control of decentralized assets,” according to the company’s website. Stackup’s seed funding round was led by venture capital firm 1kx, with participation...
Former Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky has agreed to forfeit all claims to the bankrupt crypto lender's assets, clearing the way for additional creditor distributions. The agreement, filed Monday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, prohibits Mashinsky and three related entities (AM Ventures Holdings Inc., Koala1 LLC, and Koala3 LLC) from receiving any bankruptcy proceeds. All of Mashinsky's claims submitted or scheduled on his behalf be "withdrawn, disallowed, and sha...
