In a statement to Bloomberg News, Craig Wright said that he “cannot be certain that information will in fact arrive” to help identify the coins he has to split in a legal dispute. The Australian scientist added that he hasn’t said the “private keys” to those coins would become available or be actually used next month.
Wright is an Australian computer scientist and businessman who currently serves as a chief proponent of the Bitcoin Satoshi’s Vision blockchain.
Calvin Ayre, a friend of the Gambling911.com website and an ardent supporter of Wright, offered his own take via Twitter and his site CoinGeek.com:
