The waiting continues in what has been billed "The Trial of the Century" as a Miami jury has once again failed to come up with a verdict.

The jury has been deadlocked in the infamous Ira Kleiman vs. Dr. Craig Wright trial.

Jurors are expected to determine the legal owner of nearly $69 billion in Bitcoin as well as the legal identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, author of the Bitcoin white paper. Ira Kleiman's is the brother of a man Wright claims worked with him on the creation of Bitcoin. Dave Kleiman passed away in 2014.

Prior to Thursday's conclusion of deliberations, the jury requested an abbreviated day on Friday.  This could suggest they are close to a decision or it may simply mean they are exhausted and want to get home before rush hour to start drinking.

As usual we have the latest update from our friend Kurt Wuckert Jr of CoinGeek.com.

UK Rejects Proposal to Regulate Crypto Like Gambling

"A system of gambling regulation, in isolation, would be unlikely to address these risk factors. It would also not be equipped to deal with insider dealing, market manipulation, predatory short selling and many other behaviours which can manifest themselves in both cryptoasset markets as well as traditional financial services markets."
