The 3.8M Bitcoin Lawsuit Could Set a Dangerous Precedent | BPH Ep 39
About this episode
The episode discusses a lawsuit regarding 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin and its potential legal implications.
Could a New York court really declare 3.8 million dormant Bitcoin — including coins linked to Satoshi — as "abandoned property"? This week the Bitcoin Policy Institute team dissects an anonymous lawsuit built on an obscure lost-and-found statute, and explains why the legal theory is weak but the precedent could be devastating. Ken Egan, Zack Shapiro, and Zack Cohen also cover the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) after its Senate Banking Committee markup and the surprising opposition from sheriffs' associations.
