According to Protos, Craig Wright has yet to pay the $143 million in damages nearly two years after the court ruling. Ira Kleiman, the brother of Wright's deceased friend and partner Dave Kleiman, claims that the lawyers responsible for recovering the funds have not attempted to "enforce sanctions." In court documents filed last month, Kleiman stated that a "stay" issued by the lawyers on June 5, 2024, which suspended the deadline for Wright to pay the fees, has been used to delay the recovery of millions of dollars. Kleiman claims that despite his repeated requests, the lawyers have "refused to substantively pursue sanctions," which has undermined the ability to locate and secure assets. He added, "This delay has allowed Wright to evade accountability, despite the court's clear order." [ChainCatcher]
