A court document published yesterday says that Craig Wright must forfeit half his crypto mined prior to 2014 to Ira Kleiman as well as half his intellectual property. He is also ordered to pay the attorney’s fees and related expenses incurred in this motion.

The court said that CSW "argued in bad faith", "perjured himself" and "admitted false evidence" during the motion.
