Nam Mỹ kiện đòi quyền sở hữu 39.069 địa chỉ bitcoin không hoạt động trị giá 29 tỷ USD

The Huoxing Finance report, citing Cryptopolitan, states that a plaintiff using the pseudonym "Noah Doe" has filed a lawsuit in a New York court seeking ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets, including those belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto, which are estimated to contain approximately 3.7 million Bitcoins valued at around $290 billion. The plaintiff submitted a 901-page legal filing on May 1 through two Wyoming shell companies, ABC Company and XYZ Company, claiming these Bitcoins qualify as "abandoned property" under New York's unclaimed property law. Sani, founder of the on-chain analysis platform Timechain Index, pointed out a fundamental flaw in the lawsuit: most Bitcoin from the Satoshi era are stored in pay-to-public-key format, yet the plaintiff sent legal notices to the corresponding pay-to-public-key-hash addresses, most of which have zero balances. Even if the plaintiff obtains a favorable ruling, the Bitcoin network cannot transfer funds without the private keys, rendering the judgment unenforceable. David Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer of Ripple, stated that this ruling would have no practical impact on the Bitcoin network.
