Bitcoin 'Inventor' Can't Access Coins Requested In $10B Suit - Law360
The Australian computer scientist who claims to have invented bitcoin told a Florida federal court Friday he cannot comply with a court order to produce a list of his bitcoin holdings in a $10.2 billion lawsuit against him.

Bitcoin podcasterPeter McCormack has sought for a deadline extension to file his defense against thelibel claims filed by Dr. Craig Wright.
The host of the What Bitcoin Did podcast initially had until June 13 to respond to Wright’s libel claims, but his lawyers have requested the court a 28-day extension on his behalf citing the hospitalization of the lead partner at RPC as part of the reason for the delay.
Wright’s legal representatives have agreed to McCormack’s request as long as the podcaster shouldered the costs of the application to get a court order. McCormack agreed, and would also pay Wright’s “reasonable costs” resulting from his application for a deadline extension. The costs, while not expected to be substantial, might still take a chunk out of McCormack’sdefense funds, which he planned to raise via crowdfunding.
McCormack now has until July 11 to file his defense.
