New York lawsuit seeks control of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin wallets tied to Satoshi

A pseudonymous filer using the name "Noah Doe" has brought a New York lawsuit seeking ownership of 39,069 inactive Bitcoin wallet addresses, including ones associated with Satoshi Nakamoto and the Mt. Gox hacker. The complaint describes roughly 3.7 million BTC—about $290 billion at current prices—and analysts argue the request is effectively unenforceable without the private keys.
