Craig "Faketoshi" Wright doesn't have the keys to Satoshi Nakamoto's million bitcoins.

While Bitcoin is one of the most popular cryptomoney products, its creator is still a mystery. Today, it is still impossible to prove who is behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto despite several hypotheses. One of them indicates that it is the Australian entrepreneur Craig Wright who is behind the famous virtual currency.

In 2016, the scientific director of the Bitcoin Foundation and a leading figure in the field, Gavin Andresen, assures that Craig Wright is indeed at the origin of cryptomony. Due to the lack of evidence provided by the contractor, he eventually recanted. However, Wright is still trying to prove that he is the creator of Bitcoin... without ever being able to prove it.

Still no proof in the Bitcoin case between Kleiman and Wright...
In the case of Kleiman v. Wright, Wright claimed that he possessed a file containing public addresses and private keys giving access to more than one million Bitcoins, currently worth approximately $8 billion. Later, he received a courier's letter from a courier, suggesting that this was the evidence.

Except that Craig Wright's lawyer announced that it was not and that none of the documents contained the famous keys to the Bitcoins. The Australian is said to have provided some 16,000 addresses, without accompanying private keys. However, he does not budge and still insists that he should receive them later.

Nor has the entrepreneur mentioned the mysterious courier or the company he works with to get this information. In short, there is no confirmation that what he said is true.

Several people in the Bitcoin community refer to Craig Wright as "Faketoshi", in reference to Satoshi Nakamoto. So far, no one has been able to prove who the inventor of cryptography was, despite several leads. Regularly, several personalities are interested in the subject, such as John McAfee. If the man divides within the community, he claimed to know who is behind Nakamoto a few months ago... Without giving any names or proof.
