The bonded courier set to deliver the "Key slices" necessary to unlock the encrypted files where Craig Wright's alleged Bitcoin fortune lies has finally arrived, pushing BSV's price upwards.

Craig Wright claims the infamous bonded courier has finally arrived.

Craig Wright is many things-a chief scientist at nChain, the self-proclaimed creator of Bitcoin, the main talking head for Bitcoin's least popular offshoot BSV. However, one thing that Wright is not is a truth-teller.

Wright caused quite a stir at the end of the year by claiming a bonded courier carrying the missing information necessary to "Unlock" his alleged Bitcoin fortune is set to arrive in January 2020.

Wright and his legal team filed a notice of compliance to the court saying the courier has arrived and the information he brought was shared with the Kleiman estate.

"Dr. Wright notifies the Court that a third party has provided the necessary information and key slice to unlock the encrypted file, and Wright has produced a list of his bitcoin holdings, as ordered by the Magistrate Judge, to plaintiffs today," it said in the note.

The news shook the crypto industry, but many outlets misreported on the development, saying Wright has provided the private keys to the addresses where his alleged $8 billion fortune lies.

According to the Kleiman legal team, they can't tell whether or not the three-month extension will actually be enough, as Wright provided more than just "Slices" of information in his latest notice.

No information on the bonded courier that delivered them, the company the courier worked for, or when the message was delivered was provided, the plaintiffs said.

With 10 days left for Wright to respond to the plaintiffs' question about the courier, the case will remain in limbo until the end of the month.
