On May 1, 2026, a pseudonymous plaintiff using the name Noah Doe sued in New York Supreme Court, seeking ownership of 39,069 allegedly dormant Bitcoin addresses said to hold about 3.79 million BTC. The claim leans on New York Personal Property Law Article 7-B (1958) and a process that included filing USB drives as "found property" with the NYPD and sending dust transactions carrying notices. Critics argue the case would not enable any coins to move because the plaintiff does not have the private keys, and some notices were sent to address formats that may not correspond to where the coins sit.
