According to ChainCatcher, citing Protos, Craig Wright has not paid the $143 million in damages nearly two years after the court ruling. Ira Kleiman, the brother of Wright's late 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 the "stay order" issued by lawyers on June 5, 2024, suspended the deadline for Wright to pay fees, which was used to delay the recovery of millions of dollars. Kleiman claims that despite his repeated requests, the lawyers "refused to substantially pursue sanctions", which undermines the ability to locate and secure assets. He added that "this delay allows Wright to evade responsibility, despite the court's clear order".
