Bitcoins: Police is interested in the alleged creator of cryptomonnaie – ZDNet France

It was not dragged. This Wednesday, we mentioned the Wired revelation about bicoin and its mysterious creator. Indeed, the magazine takes a new candidate: an Australian researcher
 named Craig Steven Wright.
 

We now learn that the Australian police conducted raids on the home and office of the researcher, the day after these revelations. If the authorities emphasize that these actions have nothing to do with the revelations in the American press, it is difficult not to establish link. This would involve tax proceedings. The searches have nevertheless made in the absence of the person concerned.

At home, the person on site says Craig Steven Wright is about to move to the UK and informs the police of the presence of a “big computer system” supported by a generator in the back of the house. The second search was therefore held at the headquarters of both companies Chris Steven Wright (DeMorgan and Panopticrypt).

Recall that takes Wired yet gloves and does not rule
 possibility of being mistaken. The magazine highlights the fact
  many clues collected from the public blog Craig S.
  Wright and some elements may well have been tampered with
  to manipulate journalists.

In addition to Newsweek,
  several other media reported having traced the creator
  Bitcoin, each with its favorite candidate as such, without any
 serious confirmation of one or the other does decide to come
 definitely the issue.

 question of the identity of the creator of Bitcoin is also linked to
 the existence of a background 1.1 million bitcoins belonging to a
 unknown user of cryptomonnaie. It is generally
 Satoshi Nakamoto attributed to mysterious, but funds from
 this financial manna publicly visible throughout the system
 blockchain, have so far remained motionless. For Wired, this treasure
 Forgot called Tulip Fund was the subject of an agreement between David
 Kleiman and Craig S.Wright, the latter having agreed not to touch
 money before 2020.
 

It is precisely this fund would interest the Australian tax authorities.
