Jack Dorsey-Backed Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund Supports Open Source Developers in Lawsuit With Craig Wright

Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund (BLDF), backed by Jack Dorsey, has provided legal funding for 11 Bitcoin developers who are being sued by self-proclaimed Bitcoin inventor Craig Wright. According to BLDF's founders, defending Bitcoin developers eases the pressure on them and ensures the legal system will not interfere with open-source software development.

In a statement, Dorsey argued that the outcomes of these cases are important for everyone and could have serious detrimental effects on open-source development. BLDF seeks to defend the right of open-source developers to create and freely share their code for the greater good and safeguard innovation by shielding developers from legal intimidation, said Alex Morcos in a separate statement.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
