Craig Wright still owes $143 million two years after the Kleiman ruling

ChainCatcher news, according to Protos, nearly two years after the court ruling, Craig Wright has still not paid the $143 million in damages. Wright's late friend and partner Dave Kleiman's brother, Ira Kleiman, claims that the lawyers responsible for recovering the funds have not attempted to "enforce sanctions."

Kleiman stated in court documents filed last month that a "stay order" issued by the lawyers on June 5, 2024, paused the deadline for Wright to pay the fees, which has been used to delay the recovery of millions of dollars. Kleiman claims that despite his repeated requests, the lawyers "refused to substantively pursue sanctions," which undermined the ability to locate and secure assets. He added that "this delay has allowed Wright to evade responsibility, despite the court's clear order."
