Craig Wright's Tulip Trading needs to prove ownership of about 110,000 BTC BTC, which were at the heart of a case filed against a group of BTC developers in 2021, according to a UK court document. The developers are filing a lawsuit with Tulip alleging that they wrongly refused to help Wright's company recover billions of dollars worth of BTC lost in the hack.
According to the order of the High Court of England and Wales published on the website of the BTC Legal Defence Fund, in the preliminary trial, the court will determine whether Tulip actually owns BTC. The order is dated November 15. The preliminary trial, which is expected to last 15 days, will also determine whether the alleged hacking took place and, if so, whether it deprived Tulip Trading of its private keys to control BTC.
